Laurence Stanley Slater Cumming (10 April 1905 – 19 November 1980) was a professional footballer and journalist, born in Derry, Ireland.
Cumming played for Alloa Athletic, Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic, Southampton, Queen of the South and St Mirren.
All of his international appearances were at inside-left, though at club level he was capable of switching between the number eight and ten shirts. 5 foot 11 and 12 stone 4, Laurie Cumming's sand dancing, clever ball control and finishing ability made him a great attraction wherever he played.
To quote one newspaper report: "His pirouetting, Charlie Chaplin swagger and complete control of the ball....
left us longing to see ten of his kind."
