Alexander "Alex" Bunbury (born 18 June 1967) is a Canadian retired footballer who played as a striker. He played mainly for Marítimo in Portugal during a 13-year professional career, and represented the Canadian national team during 11 years. In 2000, Bunbury became a manager. ==Club career== Born in Plaisance, Guyana, Bunbury started playing professionally with the Hamilton Steelers where he was managed by John Charles, also having one-year spells in the Canadian Soccer League with the Toronto Blizzard and Montreal Supra. In 1993, after an unassuming season for West Ham United (only six appearances overall), he moved to Portugal's C.S. Marítimo, going on to become the club's all-time leading goalscorer in the first division with 59 goals. In his second season he won the ''Foreign Player of the Year'' award,〔("Rapids rise into top spot for first time ever" )〕 and he scored a career-best 15 goals in the 1998–99 campaign, helping his team to the 10th position in what was his final year in Madeira. In early 1999, after requesting a move to play closer to his hometown of Montreal, Bunbury returned to North America, and retired after two seasons with the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer. Subsequently he took up coaching, first with Bangu FC then at the Minnesota Thunder Academy. Bunbury was inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame in April 2006.〔(Soccer Hall of Fame – Alex Bunbury )〕 In 2012, as part of the Canadian Soccer Association's centennial celebration, he was named to the all-time Canada XI men's team.〔(Association announces All-Time Canada XI – men's team ); at Canada Soccer〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alex Bunbury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
