Mattie Forde is an Irish Gaelic footballer from Ballyfad, County Wexford, Ireland.
[1] He is his county's top scorer in National Football League history, finishing his career with 29–299 (386) in that competition.
In 2005, Forde was again top scorer in the National League, helping Wexford reach the final, where they lost to Armagh.
He reached another Leinster semi-final with Wexford, where they narrowly lost out to Dublin, before bowing out to Monaghan in the qualifiers.
While Forde did play in the following Saturday's qualifier victory over Monaghan, in which he was top scorer with 0-06, he was later given a three-month suspension at a meeting of the GAA's Central Disciplinary Committee a week later, and ruled out of Wexford's third round qualifier meeting with Fermanagh, which they subsequently lost.
2007 was a disappointing year for Wexford, where they failed to gain promotion from Division 3 of the restructured National League and lost out to Laois in the Leinster semi-final, before bowing out to Fermanagh in the qualifiers.
Forde has won the Wexford Senior Football Championship 4 times with Kilanerin, being chosen as man-of-the - match in 2 of the finals.
[7] Forde used to play rugby with local side Gorey RFC in Leinster League Division 4 Section D.
