The Repair Shop (2017–…): Season 7, Episode 22 - Episode #7.22 - full transcript

Welcome to The Repair Shop,

where precious
but faded treasures...

This is bad.

I don't think I've ever seen
a chair quite so broken as this.

..are returned to their
former glory.

That is lovely.
It's lovely, isn't it?

Furniture restorer Jay Blades...

Bringing history back to life

is what makes the Repair Shop
so special.

..and a dream team
of expert craftspeople...

Amazing.
It's a bit like brain surgery.



Go on!

..come together to work their magic.

Yahoo!

When you look at something
that looks so hopeless like this,

it makes me even more determined
to get it back.

That's teamwork.

Employing heritage craft skills
passed down the generations.

It is a privilege to be able
to do something for somebody

that means so much to them.

Preserving irreplaceable heirlooms.

To bring those pieces back to life
is just the most wonderful thing,

and I'd like to do it forever.

The team will restore the items...

Whoa!



..the memories...

TEARFULLY: I'm so happy to see it.

..and unlock the stories
that they hold.

That's made it all worthwhile.

Morning.

CHUCKLING

In the Repair Shop today...

..Will's harnessing some
make do and mend.

The pine that I found is
actually an old floorboard.

On a little piece of
farming history.

Just with this thin-coat polish,

it can look like it was made
with the rest of the cart

in the beginning.

Lovely.

And Brenton's got a game plan...

The FA have come in and helped,
and they have printed me this badge.

..to get a champions trophy
back to winning form.

Fingers crossed,
I will have a perfect mould

that I can then form my silver
Three Lions in.

DISTANT BELL CLANGS

But first,
some pottering in the garden.

Come in. Thank you very much.

Emma has travelled from Somerset
in the hope that ceramics expert

Kirsten Ramsay can save some
handcrafted keepsakes.

I'm Dom. Lovely to meet you.

Please say there's biscuits in this.
THEY LAUGH

Oh, Dom. Not quite.

So, it's actually some
vegetable patch signs.

Very broken vegetable signs.
I was going to say, used to be.

Oh, my goodness.

So, my dad made these.

They look really nicely-made.
They do. Was he a potter?

Well, he did it as a hobby.

He loved pottery, and he loved
making and growing things.

So, this kind of sums up
everything about my dad.

Unfortunately, my dad passed away,
sort of, a year-and-a-half ago,

so he's not with us any more.
Oh, I'm sorry.

But these are still with us.
Exactly.

So was your dad
a successful gardener?

Yes, very much so.

We, kind of, had pretty much all
vegetable, with everything from

just carrots, tomatoes,
all the way to artichokes, squashes.

Oh, wow. Pumpkins to carve, and...

Oh, that must've been so nice,
growing up and having all

that fresh produce.
Yeah, absolutely.

There was always vegetables
every summer, and then, always pots

of flowers around the house,
as well.

God, what a childhood
that must've been.

THEY LAUGH

How was it growing up, then,
with such a creative dad?

It was amazing.
I mean, when I was about five,

he actually made a castle for us
in the garden, out of wood.

It was probably about two metres
high, so it had two floors

for us little people.

So, it was just amazing.

And then, like, a rocking horse
that he made. What a clever guy.

He sounds like he would've fitted
in really well with us here. Yeah.

So, what's the story?
These have obviously got damaged.

Have they been in your garden,
or...?

Yeah, so they've been in our
vegetable patch for a few years.

I took over the vegetable patch
last year cos it got all overgrown,

and it was just, you know, really
sad to see it in that state, so...

That's quite a big thing,

adopting or inheriting
such a pristine allotment.

I mean, how has that been for you,
trying to maintain it all?

Erm, it was like a whirlwind
of emotions, to be honest.

It was, you know, really sad
to start with, and then, sort of,

digging, digging and
making it nice again.

It was, kind of, almost therapeutic.

I would love to be gardening
with my dad, but I can't.

So, at least, sort of, in a way,

growing vegetables helps me
feel near to my dad.

But unfortunately, the weather's
got them, and then, gradually over

the years, they've just got more
and more fragile, I think,

it would just be so nice
to keep them with me,

just as a reminder of all the
things my dad used to grow.

And just... Yeah.

SHE LAUGHS

I think these are really unique.

And it'll be a pleasure to try and
get these back together for you.

Thank you. Brilliant.
It's lovely to meet you.

Thank you. Thank you so much.
Good luck. See you later. Bye-bye.

The signs are just so important,
because looking at them just

reminds me of everything
about my dad, to be honest.

You know, they're his pottery
and his creativity,

and then, his vegetable patch.

I know my dad would be so excited
to see them in one piece again,

so it's just something I can do for
my dad, and it's going to be great.

These vegetable signs
are just sweet and charming,

and really beautifully
made by Emma's dad.

They are, however, in a really,
really bad state.

This one is particularly bad,

but all of them are
really quite damaged.

It's going to be quite difficult
to bring these back.

I think what I'm going to have
to do is firstly, clean them,

and then, I need to stabilise them,

cos they're quite flaky in places,

and at the same time,
I'll bond them back together.

And I'm clearly going to have
to make new stakes, as well,

because the ones that were here
have been lost.

My initial thought was perhaps
I could get my steam cleaner out

on these, but I think
they're just too fragile.

I think I'm going to just manually
clean them with a brush like this,

and get as much muck off as I can.

Got quite a lot of mud there,

but probably not enough
to grow any veg in.

From the vegetable patch
to the farm.

Sally Mastroianni, from Cambridge,
is hoping Will Kirk can preserve

a cherished memento of life
with her farming family.

Hello. Hello. How're you doing?

Very well, thank you.

Very nice to meet you. And you.
What have we got?

Well, it's a very old horse and
cart, probably over 100 years old,

that's been in the family
all that time.

And it was with my mother.

She inherited it from her father.

Yeah. She grew up on my
grandparents' farm. OK.

And she and her brothers
played with it.

And then, she went on to farm,
as well, and was passionate

about farming and horses.

And she inspired me to do
the work that I did.

I went to an agricultural college,
and it was completely career

fulfilled through agriculture,
farming, and conservation.

So, you was inspired by your mum,
then? Definitely.

To go into that profession?
And influenced by her. Yeah, yeah.

Unfortunately, she's not
around any more.

She sadly passed away last year,
and so, I've inherited it.

And yes, she'd always
wanted it repaired.

And we, in fact, talked about that

just a couple of weeks before
she died. Oh, really?

That was one of her wishes,

And that's why you brought it
in to us? Absolutely, yes.

Yeah. I love the link that your
grandfather had as a child,

your mum had it. Yeah.

It's just that family connection
just there. That's right. Yes.

You know, I used to play with it.

My cousins would come over and play
with it, fill it with walnuts

or our toys, and cart it around
the garden, and things like that.

Would you pull it?
Yes, that's right.

Yes, it could be pulled. Yeah.

Well, it looks like it's been
well-used. Definitely.

It looks well-used - for over
100 years old, it's not that bad.

Well, it's getting fairly rickety.

OK. I mean, it does come apart...
SHE CHUCKLES

..and the leg comes off,
and things like that.

And I think there probably
used to be a tailgate,

or whatever at the back here.

Yeah. Erm, I think it used
to be white, as well.

So, I can imagine that originally
looking really quite lovely,

polished up, waxed, and then,
the horse would be painted white.

I think would be lovely if it
could be used as a toy again,

and not fall apart. Right.

And who would be using it?
Well, indeed...

THEY CHUCKLE

I still get together
with my cousins,

and there's lots of children there.

Yeah, yeah. And my daughter
might get married in the future

and have children, so... OK.

My mother was from the, kind of,
"make do and mend" generation.

Yeah. And I think it would delight
her to know that future generations

of her family would carry on
playing with it. Yeah.

Because it's a family toy. Yeah.

And, yes, it would be absolutely
amazing to have it repaired

and to know that
I'd fulfilled her wishes.

Sally, thank you for bringing us in.

I'm excited! I really am excited.

Can't wait to get stuck in.
Yeah. Great. Thank you very much.

OK, you take care now. Bye-bye.
See you soon, bye-bye.

The horse and cart is incredibly
special, because it was what

my mother played with as a child.

Horses and farming were
very important to her.

We shared the same interests
of farming and wildlife,

and I think she was a great
influence on how I led my life.

Well, I'm having a look
at Sally's horse and cart.

It is really sweet.

I can see the attraction as a child
taking this out into the farm.

Moving it around, picking up things,
picking up walnuts.

I think that the horse
could be repainted - not entirely,

but just enough to bring out
some of that white paintwork

that once was there.

Now, I don't know
too much about horses,

but this horse is missing leather,

and I might see if Susie can give me
a hand, because it'd be really nice

to have those replaced and him
looking very smart again.

But, first of all, I'm going to
give everything a good clean.

Now, giving this a clean...

..helps me to identify
what the wood is,

and it's definitely pine.

Now, that helps me cos I can now see
the grain of the wood and colour,

that'll then helped me find out
the exact same piece of wood

that I need to replace the back.

I'm cleaning everything,
including the horse,

and once that's fully dried,

you can glue up all those
loose pieces of wood.

Preserving the weathered
veg patch signs means urgent

strengthening is called for.

Working on this particular sign,

I was worried that
it was actually just going to

fall apart in my hands.

The ceramic has sheared right
the way across the whole thing,

and it's now in...almost sheets.

So, first things first,
I'm going to get some consolidant

into this, just to stop it
getting any worse.

Love seeing the consolidant
absorbed into the ceramic,

and knowing that that will give it
strength and stability again.

So, I'm just going to work my way
over the entire surface of cracks,

and then, I just need to leave it
to harden and remove any excess

that's on the surface.

All of the signs have now
been consolidated,

and I'm going to pop this
brassica sign back together.

I've got an adhesive here,
which I'm going to use to bond

the few pieces that I've got
back onto the sign.

Quite pleased with the way
that those have gone together.

I've been trying to work out
how I'll make up these spikes

that go into the ground.

And what I've decided to do is
to cast in an epoxy resin

some new spikes.

To do that, I've used the sign

that's got the most amount of spike
left, and I've made, in wax,

what I think looks like
the bottom of the spike.

My plan is now to glue this on -
and it's only temporary -

and then, take a mould.

Pop some gloves on.

I'm just going to get
my moulding material now.

I'm just going to put that around
and try and flatten it,

so that I don't get any air bubbles.

That has covered quite nicely,
so I'm just going to leave that now

and wait a few moments.

The mould has now cured,
it's hard,

and I'm going to make a new stake

using an epoxy that's been
tinted with pigments.

That colour looks a
very close match.

I'm now going to...
start filling the mould.

Hey, mate. Hiya.

Next at the barn,
Anthony Kennedy, from Manchester,

with a prized piece of sporting
history for the attention

of silversmith Brenton West.

Yes. Morning.

Morning. Hello, there.

What have you brought us today?

It's a silver plaque from the
1953 FA Youth Cup final there

for Manchester United.

My dad was part of the team, and
that's the plaque he was awarded.

Played for Man U?
Yeah, play for Man U.

Wow. That's a pretty big thing.
Yeah. It was the youth team.

I think he was the first Irish youth
to come over from Man United.

He was spotted by Sir Matt Busby.

He was the great Manchester United
manager from the '40s

and '50s, and '60s.

He created the Busby Babes,
where he got the best young talent

from all over the country and
Ireland, as well. Absolute legend.

So, for your dad to be part
of that is quite prestigious.

It's quite a big thing.
Oh yeah, massive honour.

And brilliant times. Yeah.
And what was your dad's name?

Paddy Kennedy. Paddy Kennedy? Yeah.

So, did he play quite a few
matches with Man U, then?

He only had one first team game,

but he went right through the ranks,
from, like, youth team, reserves.

Well, to play for Man United
just once would've been amazing.

Yeah, that's it, you know,
just that one game, you know?

It's in the record box and it means
everything to the family. Yeah.

How long did he play for?

He went to Blackburn.

He played three games, and then,
got a really serious injury,

so his career finished at 26-27.

So, you know, he really struggled
with injury, and he left...

I think it's the season
before the Munich air disaster.

Quite a few of his really close pals
died in the Munich air crash.

Yeah. Absolutely awful.
It's a massive tragedy.

Yeah, it was awful tragedy.
He was devastated.

Obviously, he grew up playing with
all them plate great players.

You know, the story goes that
Matt Busby didn't want him to go

to Blackburn Rovers.

He wanted him to stay at Man United.

But if he'd stayed,
he might've been on that plane.

You know, so it's just fate, really.

So, is your dad still alive?

No, he passed away about
15 years ago. OK. Sorry.

He was a brilliant dad,
you know, really principled.

And, you know, he really
treasured this trophy.

But there's two bits missing,
and I'd love to get it repaired.

So, yeah. Can I have a look?

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

All right, that's nice, isn't it?

That's lovely.

It's just some engraving on here,
but also two pins where there

might have been little plaque.

Yeah, that inscription on
the bottom's not an original. OK.

But I did go to a jeweller
and get it engraved,

which he regretted doing.

Do you know what's missing
from the middle?

I don't, actually, no.

I've not seen it in its complete
state since I was a toddler.

Well, it'll be lovely to try and
get it looking lovely again.

It'd mean so much to the family.
Yeah...yeah.

Thank you very much for
bringing this amazing trophy,

and I'm really looking forward
to working on it.

I'm delighted that you'll do it.
Thanks a lot for coming down.

See you soon. All right.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

It's getting repaired.

I'm gleaming now, I'm sure my dad
would be looking down and, you know,

he'd be so proud that
we're here today.

Just keeps his story going.

I do like football, and, er...

..it is quite amazing to be
holding this little bit of history,

that these Manchester United youths
won the FA Challenge Cup

back in the early '50s.

But the first thing I'll do
is give it a good polish

and see what it looks like shiny.

So, I'm using a ordinary
silver polish on this.

That's got some huge scratches
in it, which I'm going to leave,

cos that's part of its story.

But that's going to come up
really, really nicely.

This is just a really important...

..snapshot in the time
of Paddy Kennedy, this trophy.

One day, he set off to play
a game of football and,

90 minutes later, he owned this.

It's just brilliant.

And I'll have to do some serious
research to see what this is

actually meant to look like.

The wooden horse and cart are
now cleaned and prepped,

ready for Will to start rebuilding.

The horse looks quite
worse for wear.

However, the three legs are intact.

The front left leg has come off,
so I'm going to start off

by glueing him back together.

The wood glue that I'm using
is incredibly strong.

I want Sally's family and future
generations to be able to play

with the horse for years to come.

And now, onto the carriage.

This side panel was pretty loose,
it's now come off.

The glue was really dry.

A lot of the nails that were
keeping it in place had broken,

so that needs some fresh glue
and some fresh nails.

Well, that's the position
that it needs to be in,

so I'll flip it over and
get the nails in.

They'll help keep it in place whilst
it dries, but also, it gives it

a lot more strength for the future.

Lovely.

With the splits glued back,
there's nothing wobbly.

However, we're still missing
a tailgate.

It's quite tricky because
I've got not a lot to go on.

I just know that there's a panel of
wood that's missing from the back.

So, I've made up a paper template,

and I think these stoppers
keep it in place.

This has been made from pine,
so I found a really nice

piece of pine here.

Right, that's all drawn out, now...
time to get cutting on the band saw.

Well, that fits really well.

If I turn it over...

..that tips up...

..these pop out,

and all the treasures
fall out onto the floor -

much like when Sally was a child.

Right, this is quite light now in
comparison to the rest of the cart.

So, I'm now going to apply
a really thin coat of shellac

polish to the surface.

The pine that I found
is actually an old floorboard,

and it's got so much character
in there.

Just with this thin coat of polish,

it can look like it was made
with the rest of the cart

in the beginning. Lovely.

The horse has a real
rustic look to it,

and I don't want to lose that,

so the acrylic that I'm going to use
to paint him is thin enough

for you to be able to see
the grain still coming through.

This paint is going on really well.

The horse is looking
very handsome, indeed.

Once I've finished painting him,
I'll get him over to Suzie.

Hey, Suzie. Oh, isn't this lovely?

Look at that. How sweet is this?

This belongs to Sally. OK.

I'm not too sure about leather work
and horses, and how the cart

really attaches to the horse.

And I thought you would probably be
the best person in the barn to ask.

OK. If you could try to recreate
what could be missing,

that'd be really handy. OK.

OK, I'll see what I can
come up with. Yeah, lovely.

Thanks a lot, Suze. All right.

This is a lovely item.

I've never actually seen
anything like this before,

so I'll start by thinning some
leather down so it matches closer

to what's originally on there.

This is a great device.

What I'm able to do is to adjust
the closeness of the blade

to the wheel here, and then, I
can take this down in increments

to create the thinness that
I require for any job.

This is very reminiscent
of my childhood.

I would make saddles, bridles,

and harness for all of
my toy horses.

So, it's really a treat to have an
item like this come into the barn.

That's looking pretty good.

Let's go and see what it looks
like to what's left

of the original leather.

So I think it's really close.

Now, what I need to do
is stain this down to match

the old look of the leather,

and then, I can start making
the straps to put on the horse.

It's been a labour of love
for Kirsten, getting the handmade

vegetable labels back to
their beautiful best.

The spikes are in place.

They're solid and filled.

The next stage now
is to start painting.

I'm using my acrylic paints

to lose all of the filled areas
and blend

into the original.

I'm going to let that paint dry,
but I've got another two to go.

As well as his green fingers
and beloved vegetable patch,

Emma inherited these ceramic
signs from her late father.

But the elements had left them
in danger of crumbling away for
good.

I'm just really excited to see
the vegetable patch signs.

They're so important.

They just symbolize all the growing
and over the years,

just all of the plants
that he planted or the flowers
he put in for us.

So I'm just really interested
to see what's happened to them

and what they're going to look like.

Hi, Emma.

Hi. How are you?
Well, thank you.

Welcome back.
Thank you.

I'm really excited to show
you what I've got here.

Thank you. Can I ask
you what you're hoping for?

I don't really know,
to be honest -

just at least a bit more
together

than they were when I brought
them in because I thought

they were beyond fixing.

So literally anything you've done
would be... would be great.

All right.

They're in one piece!

Look at those.

They're amazing.

They're quite strong now, so feel
free to have a good look.

They're just completely fixed.

I love them.

Oh, just they look really beautiful.

Yeah, they look
like they're supposed to look.

I think he would absolutely
love it.

Amazing.

So...yeah.

Thank you from his
behalf as well.

It's been such a pleasure
to work on these.

I think they're beautiful.

It's just because it's something
my dad's made,

to be able to do
something for him

because he's done
so much for me over the years.

It's just really nice.

Thank you.
Thank you so much for fixing them.

I'll get them packed up for you.
Thank you so much.

Right, there they are, Emma. Thank
you so much. You're very welcome.

It's lovely to meet you.
Thank you.

Having them in one piece
and being able to have that back

and keep a piece of his artwork
going, it's just really important

and just, yeah, it just makes me
want to get back out in the garden.

Even though the weather
is terrible, it just, yeah,

it will just remind me to just keep
working hard every day.

Every day, my dad's
still inspiring me. Yeah.

Having buffed the football trophy
to a champion shine, Brenton is now

ready to reconstruct
its missing features.

I've done some research
and I was really lucky.

I found this picture on the internet
of exactly the same trophy,

but from a couple of years later,

so I can see that I'm missing

the three lions shield,

a plaque
that's applied that says "winners"

and the date, and there's a beading
round the outside that finishes

the trophy off.

I managed to find some beading
that's very, very similar.

I'm now going to cut a 45 degree
on the corner so I can make

like a picture frame
around the edge.

So that's one piece cut. I've
just got to cut all the rest

of the pieces, work my way
around, solder it together

and I've got the frame.

Well, that's soldered now.

So that's looking really good.
I've just got to file

these inside corners down, give
it a good polish and that's ready

to apply to the trophy.

I've been trying to get a badge

with the three lions on it,
the right size for this trophy.

I've tried coins, I've tried badges,
I've tried brooches -

none of them are quite right
and I'm sort of at my wits' end

and the FA have come in and helped
and they have printed me this badge.

I've got silicon chemicals,
which I'm going to mix together

and make a mould of this printed
badge.

From that, I'm hoping to be able
to put a silver clay product in,

and then I'm going to put
that in a kiln and bake it.

And hopefully I will have a silver
three lions badge at the end

of it all.

This is a two-part silicon chemical,

50-50 by weight, so that's why

I'm measuring this out,
and it wants a really good mix.

Once this is mixed, I'll pour
this on to the three lions,

which is in the little box,

let it set and fingers crossed,

I'll have a perfect mould

that I can then form
my silver three lions in.

OK, so I can see three lions there,

and I'm now going to push
the silver clay into the mould.

So this is very, very fine silver

mixed with an organic clay and
water.

When it gets fired.

the clay burns away by magic
and you're left with just silver.

So that's all pushed into
the mould now.

All I can do is wait and see
when it's dry in a couple of hours,

fire it and see if it looks
like the three lions badge or not.

So this is really frustrating.

The detail is not good enough.

It's just not crisp enough.

But absolutely determined to find

a way of getting the three lions
back on that trophy.

So I'm now going to have a go
engraving the three lions,

and I've downloaded
a three lions vector.

It's like a drawing file

and that acts as a sort
of instruction from the computer

to the engraver, and it tells

the engraver to engrave three
lions on to this piece of silver,

if I've got it right.

That's all engraved now.

I've just got to give this a
polish,

cut this shape out and it'll
be ready to go back on the trophy.

Susie's been putting her master
saddler's skills to the test,

creating a tiny harness
for the little wooden horse

and his cart.

Just popping it all together
and make sure

that it's actually going to work.

Hopefully, Sally will be happy

with what we've been able to do,

and it reminds her of all
those days in her childhood

when she was playing with this.

Yeah, there we go. That chain
is pulling the cart.

Everything's staying attached.

That's lovely.
That's all working.

It's all ready for Sally
to come and collect.

For Sally, this little wooden toy
is a reminder of halcyon days

spent on the family farm.

It represents her late mum's
love of the land, and Sally

is hoping her wish to have it
repaired has been fulfilled.

I have been thinking about my mother
a lot and the conversation

I had with my mother
about getting it repaired.

She would be absolutely delighted
to have been here today,

I know, to have looked to see
what work has been done on it.

Sally, welcome back.

Thank you very much. Hello.

Lovely to see you again.
And you.

Now, I know that you and your mum
had been thinking

about having this restored
for quite a long time.

Yes, and quite nervous,
but excited about seeing it.

Yeah? Yeah.

Now, it was a bit of a rickety
condition when it came in.

Was there anything in particular
that you were hoping to see?

Well, a mended leg... a start

and possibly a little bit
of the tack restored.

OK. But just overall,
it would just be nice

that it was sturdy.

Right, shall we have a look?
Yes, please.

Oh, my word.

Oh, my goodness.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

And you've kept
the character as well.

It's incredible.

How have you done it so it...

It so matches, it's absolutely
incredible.

Lovely white.

That's really good.

Shall we see if it goes? Yeah!

Oh, it's lovely.

Yeah, that's incredible.

Susie has done great work
with the tack work.

She has, hasn't she?
Look at that.

And it's so authentic as well.

This is even better
than I could ever imagine.

And it was pretty well
on its last leg.

And quite honestly, if my mother
had been around, still,

she'd be absolutely delighted.

Absolutely delighted.
Yeah, yeah.

No. I mean, I can remember
the conversation

we had just before she died,

and it's been brilliant to be able
to fulfil her wishes.

It's a lovely, lovely, lovely piece
of family history which links back

to the farm in Sussex,
that my mother was so fond of.

Yeah, thank you so much.

It's an absolute pleasure.

Right.

That's the cart.

Pop that in there, and if you
grab the door, I'll carry it out.

OK, thank you.

When somebody dies, you always
have a few regrets about things

that you didn't do.

And this is something I have done.

And even though she's not
around to see it, it's something

that is such a poignant memory
and makes me feel happy...

..that I've been able to do that.

Brenton has been harnessing some
modern technology to precision

engrave the missing elements
on a vintage football trophy.

I've got the "winners 1952-53"

which is the historic plaque
that would have been on there.

That's now in position and now
have to glue this on.

It's got some little pins that line
up with the holes here.

So I'm just putting this on really,
really lightly.

I'd better be careful.

Don't get glue on the front
of this if I can help it.

I'm just going to clamp
that in position.

All these elements are back
in place, and I think it looks

really nice now.

Once it's had a polish, I think
it's going to remind Anthony

of his father's amazing
achievements.

When this 1950s football trophy
arrived at the barn,

it had missing pieces
and tarnished silver.

But Brenton has managed
to restore its winning shine.

It's very special today for me.

I'm really looking forward
to walking in the barn and seeing

the trophy again, hopefully shiny
and new and bits not missing.

My dad would have loved to have seen
it back in that condition.

So yeah, it'd just feel fantastic.

How are we doing? Hiya.
You all right?

Yeah. Good, thanks, Jay.

Hi, Anthony.
Hi, Brenton.

So how are you feeling?
Really nervous.

Yeah. Excited, though.
Really excited.

So what's the dream for today?

Oh, just to see it
clean, and repaired.

A bit like... It sounds daft -

my dad as a young man.

He would have been a young,
gleaming footballer.

I hope I've done him proud.

I'm sure you have.
I'm sure you have.

Let's do the honours, then.
Great.

Oh, my God.

Oh, right.

It really is shining.

Oh!

My dad would be so pleased.

Honestly, he'd be dead proud
that we've got this repaired.

You know, the memories of the
players and me dad. Yeah.

It looks fantastic.

No, you've done a fantastic job.

I'm so pleased, mate and it's so
interesting just to see, you know,

how it was because I didn't
have a clue...

That's what it would have looked
like when your dad was handed it.
Brilliant.

Oh, you know, I can feel my dad
smiling and he had
a fantastic smile.

So I'm so proud.

You should be.

Yeah. Thank you.

You ready to take this home, yeah?
I am. Yeah. Can't wait.

Do you want to wrap it up?
There we go.

Thank you very much.

OK, thank you. Take care now.

Thank you, Brenton. Bye.

Dad was very important
to the family.

He really was. Yeah, he was
an inspirational character.

All the things he did,
we were very proud of that.

And I can always look at that trophy
now and, you know, feel a warmth.
