Boniek Manuel Gomes Forbes (born 30 September 1983) is a former footballer who played as a winger. He played for Leyton Orient in the Football League. He received his first name Boniek after famous Polish international player Zbigniew Boniek. ^[3]

After initially performing 'very well as a sub early in the season', Forbes struggled for playing time towards the end of the 2003/04 season with manager Martin Ling pointing towards his lack of versatility as an issue, and as a result his contract was mutually terminated before the end of the campaign, at the time he was expected to join Aldershot Town F.C on trial. ^[4]

Forbes left Cheshunt F.C. in the summer of 2010, joining Boreham Wood F.C. on trial soon after. ^[5]
