  Subiaco
Towards the end of the 1986 football season Subiaco coach Haydn Bunton junior was one of several men rumoured to be in the running for the role of inaugural coach of the West Coast Eagles.
As a player, Bunton had more than compensated for any inherent deficiencies in pure footballing ability by bringing a superabundance of vigour, determination and intelligence to bear on his game, and it was these same qualities which he continued to exhibit, and to demand of his players, as a coach (see footnote 4).
Bunton's arrival coincided with the return from Victoria of Peter Featherby, who had played for 3 seasons under Bunton during his previous stint in charge, and was by this stage one of the most proficient on ballers and prolific kick gatherers in Australia.

 bunton story
AS the author of a song eulogising a great Fitzroy footballer I believe it may be appropriate to begin my reflections on the Haydn Bunton ballad by confessing that I am not, nor have I ever been, a dyed-in-the-wool Fitzroy barracker.
As a 17 year-old, Bunton took his place alongside young Bradman in a NSW Country X1 against a more senior NSW X1 and apparently so impressed that great cricket judge Monty Noble that he was rated by Noble as a more likely candidate for future Test selection than Bradman and Archie Jackson.
Bunton's greatness consisted in the fact he had supreme football skills but it was augmented by his display of charity and humanity to his Aboriginal teammate.

 A Review Of The 1962 Football Season
Other factors included the instilling of new life into the competition by Haydn Bunton junior’s ‘rags to riches’ Swan Districts combination, and the fact that the 1962 season saw “an incredibly fierce”[1] race for the finals, which was not ultimately resolved until deep into time-on on the last Saturday of the minor round.
Swan Districts also provided arguably the two finest players of the season in captain-coach Haydn Bunton junior, who won both the Sandover Medal and two of the three main media awards, and shrewd and highly effective ruckman Keith Slater, who was successful in the other media prize.
Bunton’s Sandover victory made him the first son of a former winner to claim the honour, his father Haydn Bunton senior having been a three time Medallist with Subiaco.
