Not a player many would be familiar with, Laurie Cunningham has a few interesting records to his name. He was the first Englishman to represent Real Madrid and also the first ever player to have featured for both Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Cunningham moved to Madrid from West Brom in 1979 and made a total of 44 appearances for the Spanish giants, scoring 13 goals, including a brace on debut.

He was loaned out to United in 1983 but featured just five times for the Red Devils in what was a highly disappointing stint in England.
