Defenders like Tracey Fear, who played alongside Forsyth for the Verdettes club, Waikato and the Silver Ferns. “She was the hardest player I ever played against. Even though I played with her for so many years, I still couldn’t work her out,” Fear says. “And she would do it all with such bloody grace. I was in awe of her - even when she was doing it against you and made a dick out of you.” But Forsyth was loved and resepcted for more than just her exceptional netball talent.
