==Biography==
Francken started out as a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]], but quickly became a [[Striker (association football)|forward]]. He made his international debut for the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] on 29 April 1906 in a 5–0 away defeat to [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]]. He would go on to play 22 caps, scoring 17 goals, including a then national record of three [[hat-trick#Association football|hat-tricks]], all of which against Belgium.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/francken-intlg.html |title=Mannus Francken - Goals in International Matches |publisher=The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation |date=6 January 2022 |access-date=16 July 2022}}</ref> Remarkably, 12 of his international goals, including his three hat-tricks, came in [[Belgium vs Netherlands Cups|friendly cup duels]] between Dutch and Belgians, a tally that makes him the [[Belgium vs Netherlands Cups#General all-time top scorers|all-time top scorer in the competition's history]], however, if we include the [[Belgium national football team results (unofficial matches)|four unofficial trophies between 1901 and 1904]] then he shares this position with [[Herbert Potts]] of Belgium.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/coupe-vdab.html |title=Coupe Vanden Abeele |date=9 June 2022 |website=[[RSSSF]] |accessdate=16 July 2022}}</ref> The final of these goals, against [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] on 9 March 1913, made him the all-time top scorer for the Netherlands, a record he held for more than 20 years, until when on 3 November 1935, [[Beb Bakhuys]] of [[HBS Craeyenhout (football club)|HBS Craeyenhout]] scored his 18th goal for the Netherlands national team. Nearly a century after his last match Francken, he is ranked 11th in the list of all-time top scorers.

Francken played his final match for the Netherlands in 1914. He moved to the [[Dutch East Indies]] in 1916. Francken died in 1948.

His brothers [[Harry Francken|Harry]], [[Jacques Francken|Jacques]] and [[Peddy Francken]] also played for HFC.
