George Forrest (soccer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Forrest (born in Wallyford, Scotland) was one of Canada's early star soccer players.

A forward, Forrest played for the famed Bethlehem Steel soccer club in 1918 and 1926, when he was the American Soccer League's 25th leading scorer with 12 goals in 29 games. Presumably he also played for Bethlehem other years as well.

Forrest played for Canada in their 1924 tour of Australia and New Zealand. In 6 games against the Socceroos, Forrest scored twice as the Canadians split the series at two wins a piece. A week later Canada drew with New Zealand 1-1 in Auckland.
