Quick Facts Personal information, Date of birth ...

Banks began his career at Liverpool as an amateur, signing professionally in May 1958 and making his debut as a nineteen-year-old against Brighton and Hove Albion in September that year, scoring his first goal for the club in the same game.[1] He failed to make the grade at Anfield, however, and moved to Cambridge City.[1]

Exeter City paid out a club record fee to obtain his transfer from Cambridge in November 1963.[2] He went on to score 109 goals in 285 games for Exeter, across two spells.[1]

After a season at Poole Town and three years with Tiverton Town, Banks retired in 1977.[1] In 2007 he was voted Exeter City's favourite player of all time.[1]
