Sad news, a very important figure in Hull's history. For those who only remember him as the coach of the best supported and resourced club in the League it should be pointed out that he arrived at a team that was already effectively doomed to relegation and a club with no junior structure at all allowing the dobbins the run of the city. What's more he was one of the few properly qualified coaches in the game at the time. The success he achieved was largely his own efforts with help from a board that had was prepared to back him. Nearly all coaching appointments end in tears and disappointment and his was no exception but it was hell of ride which provided a sackful of happy memories. A true Hull FC legend.

Sad news. RIP Arthur and condolences to his family & friends.

Sad news . RIP arthur a sad day for all rugby fans

Sad news , One of the best if not the best we've ever had !! condolences to his family & friends ... Roam the range in peace ledgend .

RIP Arthur - You gave me some wonderful times over the years and far too many to mention

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.
