Frankie Bunn

Frank Stephen Bunn Date of Birth: Nov 6, 1962

Joining Luton straight from school after being spotted playing for his district team in Birmingham, Frankie made his Hatters debut against Derby in August 1980 while still 17 and scored a point saver against Oldham two games later.

Big and strong, Frankie was not a prolific goalscorer and was never able to command a permanent place in Luton’s eventual top flight side so moved down the leagues to join up with his old team-mate Brian Horton, by now manager at Hull, in 1985.

After some success at Boothferry Park he moved to Oldham for £90,000 two years later where his claim to fame was scoring six goals in a League Cup tie against Scarborough, still a record in the competition.

Frankie’s football career was cut short by injury and he became a coach at Manchester City, Huddersfield, Rochdale and Coventry before a stint as manager of Oldham.
