Profile: Pace, grace, speed, style, trickery, ball control, balance, Cunningham was a natural born footballer.

The first of the 'Three Degrees' to arrive at the Albion, he was the first black player to play for England Under-21s and by the time of his move to Real Madrid, the first Englishman to go there - 24 years before David Beckham.

Cunningham joined Albion from Orient and left for Real Madrid for just under £1million two years later.

After playing at Real, he returned to England and won an FA Cup winner's medal with Wimbledon in 1988. He died in a car crash near Madrid a year later.
