Managerial Career
Banks had a short career in management with Alliance Premier League side Telford United, he spent the 1979–80 season before being sacked after losing to a cup match against a team lower down the table. This led to Banks deciding against applying for another manager job. "It broke my heart. I just couldn't believe that I'd put all that effort in and found I just got kicked in the teeth and it just disappointed me that much, that I didn't apply for another job. I did not want to stay in the game."

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
