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.
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.
