EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness the legendary West Brom player Laurie Cunningham in Turkey, seeking a shoe shine to add an extra touch of polish to his remarkable two-goal heroics. The morning after his UEFA Cup match against Galatasaray on Thursday, 14th September 1978, Cunningham's charisma and skill are beautifully captured. As he sits comfortably in a chair adorned with traditional Turkish clothing and a fez hat nearby, the image exudes both elegance and determination. Dressed in his West Bromwich Albion football kit, Cunningham epitomizes the spirit of sportsmanship as he engages with local culture. The significance of this moment is not lost on us; it symbolizes more than just shining shoes. It represents the fusion of different worlds coming together through sport – transcending language barriers and cultural differences. Football has always had the power to unite people from all walks of life, and here we see it happening before our eyes. The scoreline displayed beneath the photograph reminds us that this was no ordinary game; it was a historic victory for West Bromwich Albion in their UEFA Cup campaign. This snapshot captures not only Cunningham's individual brilliance but also highlights the collective achievement of his team. Birmingham Post and Mail Archive have expertly preserved this nostalgic piece of sporting history for us to cherish. It serves as a reminder that even decades later, moments like these continue to inspire generations by showcasing how sport can bridge gaps between nations while leaving an indelible mark
