The offensive player Mannes Francken spent his football career at the Haarlemsche Football Club (HFC) founded on September 15, 1879 . The main initiator in founding the first football club in the Netherlands was the influential sports pioneer Willem "Pim" Mulier . Francken won the KNVB Cup twice with Haarlem in 1913 and 1915 . On May 25, 1913, the HFC prevailed with 4-1 goals against DFC Dordrecht and on May 16, 1915 with 1-0 against HBS Den Haag. In the championship decisions, which were first carried out in regional competitions, from which the winners played via finals for the national champions, Francken could not achieve any success with Haarlem HFC.
In the national team "Elftal" he was from 1906 to 1914 a high performer and the most successful goalscorer. He made his debut on April 29, 1906 in a 5-0 win against Belgium as a center forward in the national team. It was the Netherlands' third official international match. The striker from Haarlem competed in four international matches against the German national soccer team . In April 1910 in Arnheim (4: 2) and in October in Kleve (2: 1), as well as in March 1912 in Zwolle (5: 5) and in November in Leipzig (3: 2). In his first game against the DFB-Elf, Max Breunig made his debut on the German side . Francken scored two goals in the spectacular 5: 5 in Zwolle. For the DFB-Elf Julius Hirsch from Karlsruhe FV scored four goals. In his fourth international match against the German team, he scored two goals in a 3-2 win in Leipzig, like Adolf Jäger on the German side. His 22nd and last international match he played on March 15, 1914 in Beerschot in a 4-2 win over Belgium, where his younger brother Jacques Francken stormed on the left wing and scored the fourth goal.
