Carrete several times tried to chop him down around knee height...... and just couldn't touch him!
Laurie's performance that night was the best I've ever seen in one match. Phenomenal!

Here's another interesting fact. In 1982 Jose Carrete was chosen to man-mark Diego Maradona in the Argentinian's very first game in Spain after signing for Barcelona. Valencia won the game and Carrete fared much better marking Maradona than he did against Laurie in the UEFA Cup!
Previously he'd been chosen to give Johan Cruyff "individual attention" too, so he was something of a specialist in cancelling out skillful playmakers. Reckon that night against Albion he met his most difficult opponent.

Just showed how good Laurie Cunningham was eh?
