Claim: Ian Benjamin was primarily a forward, a position that plays nearest the goal and therefore is most responsible for scoring goals.
Evidence: Ian Tracey Benjamin (born 11 December 1961) is an English former professional footballer who made nearly 500 appearances in the Football League between 1979 and 1994, playing primarily as a forward. 
Forwards are the players on an association football team who play nearest to the opposing team's goal, and are therefore most responsible for scoring goals.
