Biography

Keith MacKenzie Forbes (28 May 1906 – 7 September 1996) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Coburg in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), and for Essendon, North Melbourne (as captain-coach), and Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A small goalkicking rover, he stood at 5 feet 7 inches (171 cm). Forbes' 475 career goals is the most by any player who never played finals in VFL/AFL history. Forbes kicked eight or more goals in a match three times, all for Essendon at Windy Hill: eight against Fitzroy in 1929, eight against North Melbourne in 1934, and nine against South Melbourne in 1936.
