Malone: Forbes simply the best
By Wendy Gee - 
DAVID MALONE has praised Andy Forbes as the "best non-league footballer I have ever seen."
Malone worked with Forbes at Winchester prior to the striker joining Eastleigh six years ago.
Malone was saddened to bid farewell to a player who is hailed by many fans as the best player ever to wear a Spitfires shirt.
Saluting the striker's statistics of 143 goals in 268 appearances, he said: "No one can argue with Forbesy's record at Eastleigh - or his record as a striker full stop.
"We all know that on his day Andy Forbes is unstoppable, the best non-League footballer I've ever seen.
"No ones jumping for joy that Forbesy's gone.
"Andy acted entirely properly throughout and we did get very close to agreeing a deal for him to stay.
"But we had to do what we felt was right for Eastleigh and I backed the manager in what he decided. He's been a very good servant to Eastleigh and he's certainly not one of those lads we're glad to see the back of."
