Forsyth was promoted from assistant to manager on the departure of previous manager Danny McLennan.  Earlier, Sammy had spent three seasons with Albion as a player between 1950 and 1953, helping them to two promotions.

The Denny born foundry-worker struggled in his first season in charge and like so many before him failed to keep Stirling in Division One.  The board kept faith with him for a season in Division Two, but when promotion was not gained in 1962/63, Forsyth went as part of a cost cutting exercise.
