At 80, Forster Davis is still very much in the game. Well, maybe not in the game exactly, but he’s definitely calling it. “I’ve been reffing for half my age,” he says, almost daring us to do the math. “A game a day keeps the doctor away.”

So instead of slowing down in his golden years, Forster keeps pushing himself to pick up the pace. “The kids hustle which makes me hustle,” he laughs. “Yeah, I have pain. But you work through it.”

“A game a day keeps the doctor away.”

With his game-winning smile and sometimes out-of-bounds sense of humor, Forster bluntly gives us his reasons for why reffing is his thing. “Why does anyone do anything? Because it’s fun. Plus, I hate the treadmill.”

When he’s not lacing up his soccer cleats and chasing players up and down a field, Forster likes to “putz around with the garden and bird feeders.”

He also holds a part-time job as a merchandise re-setter. “I guess I do it just to confuse the shopper.”
