Recruited from Maryborough, Tom Banks was a mature-age defender who secured his place in history as a member of Fitzroy's inaugural VFL squad. Already thirty years old when the competition formed in 1897, he added experience to the Maroons' defensive unit during the league's foundation season. Banks managed eight senior appearances throughout that historic year as Fitzroy established itself in the new competition, marking his only campaign at the elite level before departing the VFL scene.
