David John "Dave" Bumpstead (born November 6, 1935 in Rainham , † August 26, 2017 in Upminster ) was an English football player and coach. From 1958 onwards, the amateur national player played as a professional for Millwall FC and the Bristol Rovers 125 games in the divisions of the Football League , and from 1967 he successfully coached non-league football for several years .

Career

Bumpstead, the ninth of ten children, was active as an amateur for a number of clubs in the greater London area , including playing for Briggs Sports , Ashford Town and Tooting & Mitcham United , as a test player at Hitchin Town and Uxbridge FC and was for Tottenham Hotspur ( ~ 1954) and Luton Town (~ 1956) are registered with the Football League . With Tooting & Mitcham he won the championship of the Isthmian League in 1958 and was used in a friendly match for the English amateur national team against the French amateur team in April 1958 (final score 1: 1). He also took part with the Middlesex Wanderers , a touring team of amateur footballers, in May 1958 on a football tour to Germany and the Netherlands.

In the spring of 1958 he played for Millwall FC and contributed on March 17, 1958 against Gillingham FC in a 3-1 win in the Football League Third Division South on his debut with a goal to win. For the following season, mostly on the outside positions in midfield, Bumpstead was firmly committed. Millwall played from 1958 in the newly created Fourth Division and Bumpstead placed with the club in the following seasons always in the top half of the table. In the 1961/61 season Bumpstead played 37 league games and was in the 1: 5 final defeat in the Kent FA Challenge Cup against Charlton Athletic on the field. In December 1961 he moved to the Bristol Rovers in the Second Division , but while Millwall rose at the end of the season, Bumpstead rose with the Bristol Rovers, so it was on October 20, 1962 in a 2-0 home win in the Third Division to a clash came with his old teammates. Shortly after the beginning of the 1963/64 season, there were contractual disputes between Bumpstead and the club officials and the player quickly ended his football career after 40 league appearances in October 1963.

He then worked for the automaker Ford before reappearing after a three-year hiatus at Brentwood Town , where he took over the post of head coach in 1967. Bumpstead led the club, which was only accepted into the Southern League in 1967, to the championship in Division One and the associated promotion to the Premier Division in 1969 and also made headlines in the FA Cup . In the cup competition of the 1968/69 season , the club survived five qualifying rounds and beat FC Barnet in the first main round , before the team was defeated 1:10 in the second round to the fourth division Southend United . A year later the third division FC Reading was beaten 1-0 in the first main round , after another success against FC Hendon , the team failed with previous Football League players like Mike Maynard , Mick Loughton , Pat O'Connell and Jimmy Stevenson only in the 3rd main round at the also third-class playing club Northampton Town (final score 0: 1).

1970 Brentwood Town lost its stadium grounds and inevitably joined forces with league rivals Chelmsford City , Bumpstead took over the coaching post there and led the club to the championship in the Southern League in 1972. In addition to top scorer Colin Grant (30 goals), the two full-backs Dai Lawrence and Vic Gomersall, who signed on at the beginning of the season from Swansea Town , as well as a group of former Brentwood players with Frank Peterson , Eddie Dilsworth, Jimmy Stevenson, Paul Delea and Mick Loughton, played a major role in this. The season was crowned by a 3-2 win after two legs over the Stafford Rangers , champions of the Northern Premier League , which made the club the champions of non-league football . Also in the FA Cup, Chelmsford achieved some respectable successes under Bumpstead's aegis, until his departure in 1974 they qualified three times for the main round and were eliminated each time by representatives of the Football League: 1970/71 they were eliminated in the second main round against Torquay United ( Final score 0: 1), 1972/73 against Ipswich Town in round 3 (final score 1: 3), 1973/74 they just failed in the first main round at Watford (final score 0: 1).

The trained salesman later ran a liquor store in Romford and was also active in the hotel business, so between 1982 and 1991 he managed the Bouverie Hotel (from 1986 Victorial Hotel ) in Folkestone .
