TTT, at any level, it's not Cunningham either.
"It is the type of question you might get in a pub quiz - who was the first black footballer to play for England?
The answer most people would come up with is probably not a young schoolboy from south-east London in 1971 - six years before the player the history books record.
BBC London has uncovered evidence that Benjamin Odeje was called up by England schoolboys and made his debut against Northern Ireland in front of 70,000 fans.
"I remember standing in the tunnel, and the band was still playing," he recalls. "My knees were knocking and if you'd given me the choice to forget it I probably would have, I was so nervous."
Mr Odeje helped England to a 1-0 win.
He went on to play for England a number of times, but the history books seem to have forgotten him.
Instead, Laurie Cunningham is recognised as England's first black footballer at any level.
The West Bromwich Albion man appeared for the Under 21s in 1977."
