George Forrest (born in Wallyford, Scotland) was one of Canada's early star soccer players.
A forward, Forrest played for the famed Bethlehem Steel F.C. soccer club in 1918 when the team entered the National Association Football League. At some point, he left the team and returned in 1924 for three seasons.
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.
