Bannister came through the junior teams at Bolton Wanderers and made his debut in the 1955–56 season. 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. Lincoln City signed him in 1961 in what proved an unsuccessful attempt to avoid relegation from the Second Division.
