Watching the sides he assembled with my family and friends are some of the very happiest memories from my childhood.

Thank you for everything Arthur and RIP.

RIP Arthur One of the nicest guys you could ever meet

Sad news, another of the great names of a great period of rugby for this city gone.

Very sad news indeed one of the greats, RIP Arthur and thank you for all the memories you gave us.

"We're on the march with Bunting's Army" - one of the greatest songs we've ever had

He's the Greatest coach we've ever had

Probably only beaten by Wigan going full time and the cash running out at FC or else he could have had 5 more years at the Top.

What a golden 7 years he was responsible for !

Good on ya Arthur

He certainly was . When I left for oz in Oct 82' we'd just won the Yorkshire cup.
With the Challenge cup & the John Player Trophy already on the shelf, - probably the most successful year
in our club history.
Arthur was a lovely bloke & in the sixties contributed greatly to amateur RL (was also Telephones RLFC player/ coach in the Hull Works sports league)
R.I.P Arthur - thanks for the memories

Deepest sympathy to his family and friends. A Top Man and a Great Coach. Arthur was at the helm of the 1978/79 FC Invincibles Team # 26/26 - Memorable Times. R.I.P.

Whilst i appreciate the sentiment, Bunting isn't in the top 3 of Hull FC coaches. A good coach, a good manager and mostly a decent human being.

RIP Mr Bunting and thank you for providing such abiding and happy memories.
Without his efforts and backing of the board at the time the cabinet and our lives would be that much emptier.

R.I.P Arthur for all the happy memories you gave us

The greatest era for Rugby League in our city slips further into memory.

When winning the derby meant winning the trophy.

RIP Arthur.

I remember his haka with his cigar in the side of his mouth like it was yesterday. RIP Arthur and sympathies to his family. Another FC legend passes

I'll join you for this one. He built you a fearsome side and the din that came out of that Threpny Stand to acclaim it - wow!

Rest in peace Arthur, a true gentleman and Hull FC legend.

RIP A true Hull FC legend

Very sad news.

Memories of that era wil last a lifetime. Condolences to his family and friends.

Well said, and ditto

Such sad news about a genuine club legend. RIP.

A true Legend, RIP

Gave me some of my greatest memories.
RIP

Indeed.

We were so lucky to see some of the best players in the world play for our team back then and give us so many great memories.

Thank you Arthur for that.

RIP

RIP Arthur Bunting. I shall be forever grateful to you and all at Hull F.C for introducing me to rugby league and the good times at The Boulevard in the late 70s and early 80s. Sincere condolences to your family and friends. FC&Proud

Not in my lifetime he isn't. Unfortunately I left the UK and missed his era of success. RIP Arthur.

A great period in my life watching Hull FC in those days. What memories! Thanks Arthur. RIP.

i think as well as the trophy success it was the way his teams played the game with exciting backs, mobile creative forwards and (earlier in the decade) a genuine ball winner at hooker. hull were very much the entertainers of the early to mid 80s. it could also be argued that bunting moved hull away from big lumbering overweight forwards to the more mobile ball players and carriers that came to the fore later on. i think the 1982 aussie tourists had a profound effect on him and led to the development of players like wayne proctor, gary divorty and paul rose to compliment crooks norton crane and later muggleton. bunting should also be credited for the development of the younger players through the colts system which produced many first team players
