One of the most recognizable and successful soccer players ever to come out of Canada, Forrest was inducted into Canada’s Soccer Hall of Fame in May 2007.

Forrest draws on his extensive experience as a Canadian national team and professional soccer goaltender to bring a player’s perspective to the broadcast.

As the first Canadian to play in the English Premier League, Forrest is a favourite with fans at home and in England, backstopping teams in the Premiership, including Ipswich Town and West Ham United from 1985 to 2002.
