Ultra Posted 15 July 2009 Posted 15 July 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8149282.stm One of the great unfulfilled talents of English football. We only had him on loan for less than a season (85-86), but his arrival probably made the difference between survival and relegation. I still remember his debut against Manyoo (then miles clear at the top of the league) when he absolutely tore them to shreds as we beat them 3-0. He remains one of the most skilful players to have worn a City shirt.

Darkzzz_ Posted 15 July 2009 Posted 15 July 2009 Was reading about him some time a go. Crazy career and taken far to early.
lou Posted 15 July 2009 Posted 15 July 2009 What a lovely article... I can remember him and Regis playing at West Brom so its bought back some good memories. A sad end to his life for sure.
lou Posted 15 July 2009 Posted 15 July 2009 It was 20 years ago? That was my 1st reaction! Dont it make you feel old!!?

I remember my Dad toally exhasperated trying to make me understand how good Cunningham could be when we signed him, and saying that we'd be sure to stay up if he got playing well. Given the following season's demise and the years of Pleat-inspired crap to follow you just wonder what if we'd managed to have kept him for a couple more years....Can't believe it's already 20 years gone by

He was simply quality in his short time here.
Koke Posted 16 July 2009 Posted 16 July 2009 You ladies ain't even that old - we're in the same generation if you think about it. <_<
Katy Posted 16 July 2009 Posted 16 July 2009 You ladies ain't even that old - we're in the same generation if you think about it. <_< Old enough to remember him playing though, thusly making us feel old but thanks for your kind words Kareem
Koke Posted 16 July 2009 Posted 16 July 2009 Haha, always here for that Katy. The day I feel old is when a footballer could potentially be my grandson. That's when I know I've lived a pretty long life.
Guest Posted 16 July 2009 Posted 16 July 2009 You ladies ain't even that old - we're in the same generation if you think about it. <_< I like you
OzFox Posted 18 July 2009 Posted 18 July 2009 Great article. He's the only player I can think of who whipped in corners with the outside of his foot, with pace and loads of swerve. Even DJ might have scored from one of those...

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I wonder what his skills would be worth in todays market? Superb player.
