Alan Banks (born 5 October 1938) is an English former professional footballer who played for Liverpool, Cambridge City, Exeter City, Plymouth Argyle and Poole Town.
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]
