Be Prepared


Trevor Cooper was the Unit's resident Wearsider and with it, a passionate Sunderland fan. On 5th May 1973, second division Sunderland took on the might of FA Cup holders Leeds United in a one sided Cup Final at Wembley stadium. Or so the pundits thought. Our Trevor coughed up £10 to secure his ticket (a price back then that was way over the odds) to see The Black Cats win 1-0.

Trevor was on cloud 9 for weeks after this. The best £10 that Trevor ever invested.

The crowd that day was 99,999 PLUS Trevor.

This photo was taken at the 1st Streatham Common's Centenary Dinner in 2008.
