Peter Reid’s tribute to Laurie Cunningham went viral because it’s so Alan Partridge
Here’s a bunch of former footballers paying tribute to Laurie Cunningham, the first black footballer to play for England and the first English footballer to play for Real Madrid, who died in 1989.
Wait for former player turned manager and pundit Peter Reid to turn up. Trust us, it’s worth it.
"Hi Peter, can you just give us a nice touching tribute on what Laurie Cunningham meant to you please"
"Sure, no worries…" pic.twitter.com/AWNX4h0Jvd

“The first time I ever seen big garlic king prawns in their shells was Laurie ordered them in a restaurant. I thought, what’s that? He had these king prawns and I remember saying to him that looks great can I try one?
“He peeled one for me because I couldn’t peel them and he gave me one of his garlic king prawns.”
In fairness, a beautiful tribute from Reidy and shows what a great man Laurie must have been, cos I ain’t sharing a large garlic king prawn with anyone!!!
