Although the article focuses on his time and exploits for Real Madrid, any contribution from West Brom fans on his time at the club, and of course from other club and England fans, would be more than welcome.
Thanks for taking your time to write this. Very tragic indeed but good to see some recognition on the anniversary of his passing.
Just found this 45-minute documentary called "The Laurie Cunningham Story":

Cannot say how good it is as I haven't yet watched it myself, but there it is for anyone interested.
I've looked to no avail for specific footage of that clásico match. Maybe someone else can find it. Meantime, I thought I might as well stick this up here too:

Cunningham with the go ahead goal and some vital plays in West Brom's famous 3-5 victory at Old Trafford in 78/79. Some tremendous goals in there - I think 2 or 3 of them were actually shortlisted for Match Of The Day's Goal of the Season competition.
All WBA's fans know about this game obviously, but might be interesting for some of the younger 606ers around.
If anyone's got the book about Albion's first 100 years, the dust jacket features a photo of Laurie Cunningham scoring a goal against QPR at The Hawthorns. In the photo you can see Gerry Francis. QPR were playing in red that day - I was at that actual game in my ST seat in the old Rainbow Stand.
I once took my two boys to a Leyton Orient-Brighton game at Brisbane Road in 1996-97. Peter Shilton was at Leyton Orient then and was playing his 1,000th game that day, so a bit of history. On our way out at full-time, we passed 'The Laurie Cunningham Snack Bar' which was housed in the stand we were in. So that was well after his death. Maybe he liked his half-time cup of Bovril while at Leyton Orient!
