Eddie Bannister played football in glasses to correct serious
short-sightedness but fortunately contact lenses were coming into more
general use and he was able to use the slightly less ungainly method
of sight correction later in his career. A solid enough full-back,
he played quite a few games in the nightmare 1946-47 season that saw
Leeds fail to win a single game away from home.
