Popular Post docspiderman 1,262 Posted September 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2023 He had everything, the pace, the vision, the movement and the natural quick feet shooting ability which made him the most effective striker I have seen in our jersey. If he had been allowed to stay with us I am sure his record would have eclipsed Super Ally.

Popular Post Bobby Hume 13,502 Posted September 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2023 Sad news indeed .... deepest condolences to his family and friends. Football is a very precarious profession and Jim was unjustifiably on the wrong side of that equation after Berwick and deserved much better from our Club. Another great player has passed and I am just glad that I had the pleasure to see him play. Thanks for the memories Jim. 🇬🇧 Bears r us, scottyscott1963, glasgow argyle and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG5 11,446 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 6 hours ago, The Dude said: RIP. The way he was scapegoated after Berwick was outrageous and it’s shocking he’s not in the club’s hall of fame. A story I heard not long after he’d gone was that he wanted more money. The club’s pay structure was, apparently, pretty rigid, so they called his bluff. Came back to haunt us a few times, iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’ think that was Jim Forrest, I am sure that John Lawrence openly said after Berwick that Forrest and Dandy McLean  would never play for the club again. I think the pay story  was about Jim Baxter? glasgow argyle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueoysterbar 19,878 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Mind my da telling me every time he was at Ibrox when Jim was playing there were folk around him in the stand saying, "That Forrest does nothing apart from scoring goals." What you'd give for a guy like that just now. Rest easy Jim. Bobby Hume, bluenose48, ayrshireranger and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
