Bannister came through the junior teams at Bolton Wanderers[4] and made his debut in the 1955–56 season.[3] He scored the second goal, and set up the fourth for Nat Lofthouse, as Bolton beat league champions Wolverhampton Wanderers 4–1 in the 1958 FA Charity Shield.[5] Lincoln City signed him in 1961 in what proved an unsuccessful attempt to avoid relegation from the Second Division.[2] He also played league football for Hartlepools United and Rochdale before moving into non-league with Lancashire Combination club Fleetwood.[6] He went on to become chairman of Blackpool Rangers Juniors F.C.[7]
