Personal life
Bunyan was born in Campton. Bunyan had three sons - Charles, Maurice and Ernie - two of whom became professional footballers.
Career
Playing career
Bunyan played as a goalkeeper, and after playing with local sides Old Horns and Spital Olympic, Bunyan played with Chesterfield in 1886, before turning professional with Hyde a year later. He was in goal for Hyde when the club lost 26–0 to Preston North End in the FA Cup in October 1887, a score which remains a record in senior English football.
After playing in the Football League with Sheffield United and Derby County, Bunyan returned to Chesterfield in 1892. Bunyan was sacked by Chesterfield for a number of misdemeanours - both on and off the pitch - and he played with Ilkeston Town and Heanor Town before returning to League football with Walsall. He moved to New Brompton in 1898, where he was an ever-present for one season before moving on to Newcastle United.
Coaching career
Bunyan moved to Belgium in 1909 to become coach of Racing Club de Bruxelles, while also assisting with the Belgian national side. He moved to Sweden in 1911 to manage Örgryte IS, before coaching the Swedish national side in time for the 1912 Summer Olympics. Bunyan returned to Belgium in 1912 to manage Standard Liège, and after a brief spell also managing the Belgian national side. His career was interrupted by the First World War, but he returned to Belgium after the war ended to coach Anderlecht.
Bunyan replaced Sylva Brébart as manager of Anderlecht in 1922, but died ten years later and was replaced by his son, Charles.[1]
