Inside right or centre forward Forshaw is the only man to win League championship medals with both Liverpool and Everton. The Preston-born player developed his talents in Gateshead junior football and after guesting for Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough during World War One joined Liverpool in 1919.
Standing a slim 5ft 10ins he formed a potent attacking alliance partnership with Harry Chambers and was an ever-present in Liverpool's consecutive championship seasons of 1921-22 and 1922-23, scoring 36 goals in the 84 games of those two campaigns.
But his highest scoring season was 1925-26 when he hit 29 goals in 35 League and FA Cup games, including a hat trick against Manchester United, a feat he repeated in the opening fixture of the following season.
After totaling 124 goals in 287 senior appearances Forshaw joined Everton in 1927 where he appeared in the same forward line as Dixie Dean and won another championship medal in the first season. He moved on to Wolves in 1929 and later played for Hednesford Town and Rhyl Athletic.
Honours with Liverpool: First Division Championship 1921/22 & 1922/23
