He came close to being dismissed from university after an academically disastrous second year, but was saved by the intervention of Zoologist David Barker. [4] After graduating from Durham with a 2:1 he continued his education at Churchill College, Cambridge, and represented Cambridge University R.U.F.C. [4] [5] Hannaford taught Biology at Sherborne School (1968–1970), and later at Clifton College and Millfield.

[7] [8] By 1997 he was reportedly retired in France. [4]
He made his test debut against Wales, scoring a try in a 22–6 defeat. His final international appearance at test level came against France in the same tournament. He later toured the Far East with England, playing against Japan.
