Frederick William Banks (9 December 1888 – 1957) was an English professional footballer who made 72 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham and Nottingham Forest.[1] He played as an outside forward.
Banks was born in Aston, now part of Birmingham. He played local football before joining Birmingham in 1909.[2] He made his debut in the Second Division on 13 November 1909, deputising for Fred Chapple in a home game against Lincoln City which Birmingham won 1–0.[3] This was the only first-team game he played for Birmingham.
He played non-league football for Stourbridge and Wellington Town, and then returned to the Football League with Nottingham Forest.[2] In two spells with the club either side of a season with Stalybridge Celtic and interrupted by the First World War, Banks played 73 games in all competitions, before moving back to non-league with Worksop Town in 1920.[2][4]
Banks went on to become Notts County's trainer, and died in Nottingham in 1957.[2]
