Laurie Cunningham: Back in the Sunday Times with a major biography and a blue plaque on the way
//Kavanagh’s piece on Cunningham in Style today//
I’m really pleased for writer/photography editor Dermot Kavanagh. His tireless championing of the late soulboy footballer Laurie Cunningham is paying off with a major piece in today’s Sunday Times’ Style magazine and news that there is to be a blue plaque marking the sportsman’s North London birthplace.
//Kavanagh’s piece includes photos from Cunningham’s life as a London soulboy//
//Cunningham on the cover of The Sunday Times Magazine 40 years ago//
//Another country. The March 1976 piece on Cunningham//
//From the blog November 2012//
I first wrote about Cunningham four years ago – read the post here – and have been happy to provide support and advice to Kavanagh in his ambitions to publish a biography; that is now a prospect through crowd-sourcing publisher Unbound.
If you haven’t already, pledge here and celebrate Cunningham’s life and achievements as Britain’s first prominent black footballer.
