Cunningham was the first black player to represent England in a competitive match when played against Wales in a Home International in May 1979.
Tragically he died in a car accident in Spain in 1989 at the age of 33.

Real Madrid vs Eintracht 1960 European Cup Final DVD
Real Madrid are the greatest club side the world has ever seen". – Bill Shankly 1960 The 1960 European Cup Final between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt is considered by many to be the greatest ever played.
Real were crowned king’s of Europe for the fifth straight time on that incredible day at Hampden Park in front of a world record 135,000 fans.
Real Madrid had dominated the European cup from its inception in 1956 and on that hot summers day in Glasgow as Real played some of the best football ever seen and caused astonishment all over the world.
Although the German side opened the scoring, the white machine eventually crushed them. The four goals by Ferenc Puskas together with Alfredo di Stéfano’s three proved enough to certify the superiority of the squad that Miguel Muñoz was coaching at the time.
It was in that game when the Whites made football into art.
