George Forrester (born 28 August 1934 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a full back. Forrester began his career in the early 1950s with Sunderland, spending two years with the English side but failing to make a first-team appearance. He returned to Scotland in 1954 with Raith Rovers, who he had been with as a youngster, but again failed to appear for the first team, moving on in 1957 to Brechin City. After just one appearance, Forrester quickly moved on to Dundee United, where he featured nine times for United's first team. After leaving Tannadice towards the end of the 1950s, Forrester featured for Eyemouth United before returning to England with Accrington Stanley. His two-year spell with Stanley preceded a move to Sankeys, where he spent three years. In the mid 1960s, he joined Altrincham, winning the Cheshire County League before ending his playing career with Macclesfield Town.[1]
Forrester died in 2001.[1]
