Read his obit in When Saturday Comes that included a tragic story. When Banks was 15 his brother - who had learning disabilities - died of injuries received in a mugging when he was done over for the takings from the family's betting shop business. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or £62,109 a year. Not a bad salary. For context the lowest paid footballer in the Premier League was Ben Gibson who earned £3,600 or £187,200. More than treble what Banks earned. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
