This documentary reflects on the ground-breaking career of Laurie Cunningham, the first black footballer to pull on an England shirt whose impact on the game continues to be felt decades after he was killed in a car accident aged just 33. Featuring first-hand accounts from key figures in British and European football from the 1970s to the current day, this documentary includes interviews with his team-mates at Leyton Orient, West Bromwich Albion and Real Madrid including Cyrille Regis and Vicente Del Bosque, as well as his managers including Ron Atkinson, members of his family and former players such as Paul Ince, John Barnes, Les Ferdinand, Ian Wright and Mark Bright, whose ascent to the top of the game was inspired by the skilful winger.

 

 

Now, as the issue of racism within football is high on the game's current agenda, this programme is a timely reflection on the social impact of Laurie’s rise during an era when black players routinely faced torrents of racist abuse from the terraces in England.  Known as one of the legendary ‘Three Degrees’ at West Brom alongside Regis and Brendon Batson - the first time an English team had fielded a trio of black footballers - Laurie was one of the first black English players to gain a high profile and the programme explores how he dealt with the prejudice he encountered.  According to his contemporaries, the promising player described as the 'Young Pele' by the press wouldn’t allow racist chanting at football grounds to intimidate him.

Joueur de West Bromwich Albion et de Coventry City notamment, était un symbole dans les années 1970, à une époque marquée par le racisme dans le football anglais. Le trio qu'il formait avec Laurie Cunningham et Brendan Batson est entré dans l'histoire de ce sport.
