Stats
Bio
Recruited from Flemington-Kensington, Keith Forsyth was a solidly built utility who earned a brief opportunity with Essendon during the 1941 season. Standing 183cm and weighing 91kg, he presented a physically imposing figure for the era, making his debut in a Round 4 victory over South Melbourne at Windy Hill. He donned the sash just once more the following week against Hawthorn before losing his place in the senior side. His football journey was effectively cut short by the Second World War, as he enlisted in the Australian Army shortly after his fleeting VFL career, leaving the game with two senior appearances to his name.
