TRFC Fanfile Interview No.4 - Tony Banks
By Deadly Submarine
June 21 2009
As part of a summer series to keep the site ticking over during the quieter times of the close season, we have posed a series of questions to Tranmere Fans all around the World. After so far speaking to two exiled fans and one local fan, it's time to go local again as we speak to Tony Banks who posts on Total Tranmere's Message Forum as Ming05....

NUMBER 4 - TONY BANKS (LIVERPOOL)

What is your Name and where do you Live?

Tony Banks and I live over in Liverpool about five minutes walk from Goodison Park (spit spit!!) - I got strange looks when going to games this season as they have been at home when we were.

How old are you and for how long have you supported Rovers?

I'm cough cough years old and its been 20 years!

Who or what made you support the Superwhites?

Just hooked after first game.

What was your first ever Rovers Game?

Think it was 1989 against Bristol city but didn't go again till 92-93 for the Anglo Italian Cup.

Where do you usually sit at Prenton Park?

In the Kop over on the left.

Who is your all-time favourite Rovers Player?

Pat Nevin.

Who is the worst Rovers Player you've seen?

Won't say worst but never took to Ellison.

What was your favourite ever Rovers Game?

Swindon play off semi-final home leg and the Aston villa semi-final at home (we was robbed away).

Select your All-Time Best Rovers XI:  

Nixon, Thomas, Goodison, Yates, Nolan, Koumas, Irons, Nevin, Morrisey, Aldo, Muir.

Subs: Challinor, Garrnet. Coyne, Greenacre , Higgins and Obrien.

What is your Favourite Away Ground?

I liked the grounds where we win so Wrexham was a good one over the last few times we played them.

Have you ever been to Wembley with Rovers and if so which year and which match?

Worthington Cup Final (had tickets for Bolton play-off final but couldn't go).

What is your all-time Awful Rovers XI?

If you were in charge at Prenton Park, what changes would you make?

Easier said than done but try and get an over 20 goals a season a man.

Depending who we get in but will go for 8th to 11th.

Tell us something interesting or unusual about your support for Rovers over the years?

Won the half time draw once. and got escorted by several police men at Millwall after finding myself among the home fans (I got lost) and also had to leave through the backdoor of a pub (very quickly) at West Ham after finding myself locked in a pub full of West Ham supporters.

Have you ever worked for/been involved with the Club aside from being a Fan?

No.

Total Tranmere would like to thank Tony for his interview!
