Francisco Bustamante

Modern Era 1960-2000
PH
1963present

Francisco **Django** Bustamante was Efren Reyes's most successful contemporary among the Philippine first wave of internationally-touring pros, and remains one of the most powerful breakers in the modern game.

Bustamante won the WPA World Nine-ball Championship in 2010 and partnered Reyes to win the World Cup of Pool for the Philippines in 2006 — the first edition of the team event. He has been a Mosconi Cup mainstay for the Rest of the World and Asia squads.

His nickname comes from the spaghetti-western film series; teammates noted the resemblance early in his international career.
