Born in Heavitree near Exeter, Bastin started his career at Exeter City, making his debut for the club in 1928, at the age of 16.

Bastin would play the rest of his career at Arsenal, scoring 178 goals in 395 games; he was Arsenal's all-time top goalscorer until 1997, when his total was surpassed by Ian Wright. In 2005 Thierry Henry passed Bastin's total; as of 2005 he remains the club's third-leading goalscorer. Bastin's scoring feats are all the more remarkable considering he played on the left wing rather than as centre forward; the partnership he formed with Alex James was the source of many of his goals.
