Hayden Bunton



FITZROY


Hayden Bunton made his league debut at the age of 19. Bunton, a rover, had beautiful balance and has been described by many as the greatest ever. He played 119 games and in his short but successful career with Fitzroy, he won three Brownlow Medals, two of them in his first two seasons. Bunton then crossed over to Subiaco and there he won three Sandover Medals. Bunton later played with Port Adelaide, then surprisingly taking on a bit of umpiering when his playing days were over, then going on to coach North Adelaide.
