Thomas Forrester (June 1864 – ?) was an English footballer who played for Ardwick and Stoke.[1]
Forrester played for Trentham before he joined Stoke in 1888.[1] He was a member of Stoke's reserve side the 'Swifts' and was overlooked by manager Harry Lockett for the first team.[1] His only senior appearance came in the FA Cup against Warwick County.[1] Stoke lost and most of the reserve players including Forrester were released. He later went on to play for Stoke St Peter's.[1]
From there he joined Ardwick on 5 October 1892.[2] He made his Football League debut on 26 November 1892 against Burton Swifts and went on to score twice in 10 appearances for Ardwick.
