Forster, 29, made his debut in 2016 and now joins father Matt and mother Marie as Burnside centurions in the club’s red-and-white hoops.
Younger brother Sam and sister Talia could yet follow suit, with both in the early stages of their careers in Burnside colours.
Forster, captain of Burnside’s division 1 team, said it meant a lot to join his parents in the club’s 100-game ranks.
“With the history of mum and dad playing for the club, and obviously now myself and my brother and sister playing there currently, it makes it a lot cooler when the whole family's involved.
“The club means a lot to me. It’s pretty much like a second family with the amount of time I’ve spent here over the years.”
Matt said watching his son reach the milestone was a proud moment.
“I’m just proud of him achieving that. As he’s grown up he’s been a really good kid, so I’m proud of the way he holds himself and leads the team.
“He played juniors there and then came back (after finishing at Christchurch Boys’ High) and started playing colts and seniors, so he’s been part of it all the way through. He’s a little tiger – he was always around when I was playing.”
“We had a bit of a run together, so that was quite good,” said Matt.
“It’s something that not too many people can say they’ve done.”
Sean said the experience remained a special memory.
“I just got called up to play that one game and we ran on the field together. It was cool. I don’t think it happens too often in division 1 footy.”
Burnside celebrated Forster’s milestone with a 36-24 win over Belfast, lifting them to seventh on the table after five rounds. They host Christchurch this weekend.
Elsewhere, Linwood remain the competition’s only unbeaten side after edging New Brighton 28-22 ahead of a blockbuster away clash with Lincoln University on Saturday.
Lincoln were beaten 41-21 by University of Canterbury, who travel to Sumner this weekend.
High School Old Boys and Christchurch also recorded wins, beating Sumner 41-26 and Shirley 55-12 respectively, while Marist Albion defeated Sydenham 33-7.
This weekend, Marist travel to Belfast, Shirley host New Brighton and Old Boys visit Sydenham. All matches kick off at 2.45pm.
