Portsmouth's kitman Kev McCormack looks ahead to the Checkatrade Trophy final against Sunderland and remembers his darkest hour in the job, at Swindon.

Portsmouth return to Wembley for the first time in nine years when they face Sunderland in the Checkatrade Trophy final on Sunday and the first man there will be kit man Kev McCormack.

'Big Kev' as he is affectionately known by the players and staff that have known him in the 21 years he has spent cleaning boots and laundering kit at Fratton Park.

A former Commonwealth Games super-heavyweight boxer, McCormack is a big presence at the club, staying in his role through thick and thin, the 2008 FA Cup triumph and relegation to the fourth tier in 2013.
