Cunningham is best remembered for kicking a goal from 50 m in the final minute of the game against St Kilda in Round 2, 2002 at Subiaco Oval, to put Fremantle ahead for the first time in the match.[1] he was delisted at the end of the 2004 season.
His other notable item was his afro hairstyle which he grew in the 2003 preseason, and although he did not play many games with it due to injury he was a much loved character at the club. It was used as his official AFL photograph for the 2003 season.[2]
