One of the stars of the most exciting West Brom team seen over the years.
I don't remember him signing for Man Ure but, you can still see on Youtube that marvellous game against Untd when the Baggies were totally rampant and Laurie was unstoppable.
I wonder who was responsible for the illegal stamp on his foot which broke his toe and became a precursor to a downward trend in his career.
A Great Great player sadly missed along with, more recently, Cyrille.
I don't think that he was the first black player to play for England. That honour goes to a Ben Odeje who was picked at schoolboy level in 1971. Laurie's first cap came some 6 years later; playing for the under 21s.

Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.
