Played for Villa: 1901
Position: Inside forward
Appearances: 5
A minor name in Villa history, Herbert (Bert) Banks represented the club just five times, never scoring, before moving on to Bristol City within months. He is notable for the fact that he had represented England (once) while playing for Millwall, just before Villa secured his services in 1901. Banks never settled at any of the clubs he played for, moving on practically every season. Possibly his finest days were with Watford in 1903-4 where he was scorer of 21 goals, despite playing only 19 times.
