Description
Getting The Third Degree tells the story of Laurie Cunningham, a footballer who broke down racial barriers in the late 1970s. With his impressive skills and charismatic style, he drew comparisons with Pele and inspired a generation of young black players to follow in his footsteps.
Cunningham's success was not without its challenges, however. He faced racial abuse and physical threats from The National Front, but he refused to be intimidated. Instead, he used his footballing brilliance and dignity to triumph over adversity.
This book explores Cunningham's remarkable story, commissioned by kick it out and produced by Roughhouse theatre and Live Wire Theatre. It is a powerful and thought-provoking account of one man's courage in the face of racism.
