Pelé-Signed 1970 West Ham Program Restored | The Repair Shop UK | S8 E47

A battered slice of football history arrives at the barn with one unbreakable rule: protect Pelé’s signature at all costs. What follows is part science, part magic. From a gentle paper bath to pigment-perfect infills, see how a soaked, torn 1970 New York West Ham vs Santos program is stabilized without risking the autograph. Meanwhile, an SG guitar snapped at the neck is aligned with stealthy locator pins and tinted epoxy before its first triumphant riff, and a British Army medal regains its pride as a custom punch lifts a dent while safeguarding the engraved service number. The ribbon? Researched, re-stitched, and regulation-true. Craft, patience, and a few nerve-wracking moments turn irreplaceable memories into living heirlooms. Watch to discover the precise tricks conservators use, the choices they won’t risk, and the emotional reveals that follow. Settle in and see why some treasures deserve a second chance—then watch the full episode to catch every detail. #TheRepairShop #Pele #WestHam #GuitarRepair #PaperConservation #ArmyMedal #Restoration #BobbyMoore
