His main abilities are his good balance and defensive positioning, along with his consistency during the game. Förster was a personal selection of Giorgos Donis when he was head coach at Ilisiakos and he followed Donis when he became the coach of AEL in 2004. From then on, he was an important unit for Larissa as a starting player or a substitute, and club's vice-captain, behind Nikos Dabizas. He earned 87 caps and scored five goals for the Maroons. He faced German club 1. FC Nürnberg in the 2007–08 UEFA Cup.[2] His career highlight was when he won the Greek Cup with AEL in 2007 against Panathinaikos. He left Larissa on 1 July 2008 and joined Anagennisi Karditsa, where he scored two goals and was included in the best defenders of Beta Ethniki.
