Player Database: Terrell Forbes

Was a decent signing from QPR a month or so into the 2004/2005 season. Was regarded as a top class Championship defender, and anyone who did not look into it would think it was odd for Forbes to ditch first team football at QPR and drop two leagues to come to Grimsby.

However the fishy tail was that Forbes was on the verge of going to prison if he was proven guilty in a rape case; this affair got him the boot from Loftus Road.

Then in a twist of fortune Terrell was proven innocent and signed a contract with Town till the end of the season. Secured a regular place at centre back with and played quite well alongside Justin Whittle and Simon Ramsden.

The former West Ham United youth proved to be a decent player in his 9 months at Blundell Park, and was top of the Town fans' wish list to sign for the following season. However in typical Grimsby Town fashion, he didn't and moved up a league to join up with Oldham Athletic.
