I can tell! 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,400 Yeah! This looks like it's had quite a life. 44 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,920 Definitely, yeah. 45 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,640 When did you first get into football, then? 46 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:14,120 It was always a passion of mine to play football growing up. 47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,520 But I've got Duchenne muscular dystrophy, 48 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,880 and the older I got, with this disability, 49 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,120 your, like, muscles deteriorate over time. 50 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880 But I will still do everything I can to try and compete... 51 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,080 Yeah. ..with my friends in football as much as I possibly could. 52 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,400 But it was tough. And then, one week, one of the parents said, 53 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,360 there's this Aspire wheelchair football club. 54 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,640 I was like... Now you're talking! Yeah, sign me up! 55 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,320 And then I went along in my standard wheelchair. 56 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,200 Like the one you're in now? Yeah. Yeah. 57 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,640 Yeah, like the one I'm in now, and they attached a tyre, 58 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,640 and it was just you would hit the ball on the tyre 59 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:50,960 and just drive with it. 60 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,320 I kind of like the ingenuity. 61 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,200 I was there, straight in the team, 62 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,800 like, there's nothing to stop me now. 63 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,960 Yeah, it really was incredible. How old were you at this stage? 64 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560 I would have been 15 or 16 at the time. 65 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,760 So, when did you get this chair, then? Around... 66 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,400 It was ten years ago. Yeah. 67 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,360 Do you remember the day when this arrived? 68 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Yes. First match with it? Yeah. 69 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,840 It took a while to get used to it, cos it's so much more powerful. 70 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,120 I was like, "Oh, my God, it's like a Ferrari! 71 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,600 "How am I meant to control it?" 72 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,760 And then to be able to win trophies and be the best at something, 73 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,360 it's just... Incredible. 74 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,160 I couldn't dream it up better, honestly. 75 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,040 That is amazing. So, are you still playing now? 76 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,280 No, I've retired this year, actually, 77 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,720 and I've been doing some courses to start my coaching journey. 78 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,320 So, you're going to be back, part of the team, 79 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640 but as a coach this time? Yes, as a coach. 80 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,960 So, why do you want to get this repaired, then? 81 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,880 I want to be able to give it to the club and someone can try it out, 82 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880 someone who comes along can get in it and have a go, 83 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,360 and then that'll be it. 84 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,360 They could be the next big thing. Yeah. 85 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,480 But it's not really in the working condition 86 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,280 for anyone to actually be able to compete. 87 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,520 The dents and bumps and the wheels, 88 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,840 everything about it is just struggling. 89 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,000 The motors on it have had so much wear and tear. 90 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,440 Like, when I would first go to training and I would spin, 91 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,720 it would squeak. It was only when I'd warm up a bit 92 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,120 that it'd start working. Oh, I see. Yeah. 93 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,080 Thank you so much for trusting us with this chair. 94 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,120 I promise you, we'll get it match-ready once again. 95 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,800 Thank you so much.

It's a really hard-wearing finish 100 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200 which is going to last, importantly. 101 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,000 I've also got all of the cushions and backrests, 102 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,600 the seat cushions, the armrests. 103 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,560 They're all worn out and need replacing. 104 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,440 Most of the cosmetics, I can manage, 105 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,960 but underneath this seat base are a lot of wires. 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,360 David Burville hopefully will give me a hand. 107 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,240 I just need to completely dismantle the entire chair 108 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,760 down to its individual components. 109 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,000 Then, I can take it away to be blasted and powder-coated, 110 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,560 which is very exciting. 111 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,200 I do love a road trip! 112 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,920 Brothers Pete and Eric McCready have travelled from Aberdeenshire, 113 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,320 but it's a symbol of a Glasgow love story 114 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,040 that needs Rebecca's textile expertise. 115 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,240 Hi, welcome. Hello. Good to see you both. 116 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,520 Hi. 117 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,840 What have you brought in for us today? We've got this flag, 118 00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:53,440 speedway flag that used to fly 119 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,960 above the referee's box at the White City Stadium in Glasgow, 120 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,760 the home of Glasgow Tigers speedway team. 121 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,480 Dad was an Ashfield Giants speedway supporter, 122 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,280 which rode at the Ashfield Stadium in Glasgow, 123 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,440 and Mum was a Glasgow Tigers speedway supporter... OK. 124 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,200 ..which rode at the White City Stadium. 125 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,800 And one evening in 1951, 126 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,800 Dad and his friends decided to visit the White City to see the speedway 127 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,880 and Mum and her friends were there anyway as regulars. 128 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,720 So, this went on for a couple of weeks. 129 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,680 My mum was 16 years old and my dad was 19 years old, 130 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,400 so they were teenagers. OK. 131 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,440 And Dad then plucked up the courage and asked Mum out on a date. 132 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,880 Ooh. Aww! That's lovely! 133 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,720 So, that was the start of it, at that time. 134 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,400 So, that's where they met? Yes! 135 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,960 They met at the track, as rivals. They met at the stadium. 136 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,360 Yes, as rivals. How much do you know about the flag? 137 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,600 What happened was a decision had been made to build 138 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,560 the M8 motorway through the middle of Glasgow, believe it or not, 139 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,960 and, unfortunately, White City Stadium 140 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,680 was in the road of this new motorway. Oh, no! 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,200 They had to demolish White City. 142 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200 So, Dad worked in the shipyards just close by 143 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,000 and on one of his lunch breaks, he just walked up, 144 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,480 just to look at the track and look around. 145 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,440 And he actually bumped into the Tigers' promoter, Trevor Redmond. 146 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,520 And the flag was flying, and he said to Trevor, 147 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,920 "Mr Redmond, you can't leave the flag there for the demolition crew." 148 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,040 And he turned to Dad and said, 149 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,600 "Well, if you can shimmy up that flagpole, you can have it." 150 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,040 And up he went. No way! Yes, yes. 151 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920 And therefore that's why there's rips, because he tore it off there. 152 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,720 In desperation. Yeah, tore it off the flagpole. 153 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,920 And that flag has been in our household since the late '60s. 154 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,840 Mum passed away when she was 80 155 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640 and Dad passed away when he was 93 years old. 93! 156 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,320 So, for us as a family to have our parents 157 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,640 for so long in our lives is fantastic. 158 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120 Do you feel a responsibility, in a way, now it's in your care? 159 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Oh, absolutely, absolutely, 160 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,800 because it's like the family heritage memories. 161 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,520 You've got some creative repairs on here. 162 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,000 Is this your handiwork? 163 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,760 Unfortunately not. Fortunately not, sorry! 164 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,240 We do feel that, at some point, Dad's handiwork with the staples... 165 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,840 Staples? That's kind of how I'd fix a piece of fabric. Yeah. 166 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,640 Yeah, staple it back together. 167 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,920 And was your dad a bit of a stitcher? 168 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,000 That, we have absolutely no idea 169 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,600 where the stitching came from, unfortunately. 170 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,160 How do you see this being restored? 171 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,960 It needs to show its age. Yeah. 172 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,240 It came from the '40s, you know, so it needs to be that. 173 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,760 I completely agree. It's more preservation. Yes. 174 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,040 Preserving what's here and stabilising. 175 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,640 What's the plan for the future? 176 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,000 We're going to present it back to the speedway team. 177 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,600 That's where we want it to be preserved, 178 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,760 so that all Glasgow Tigers and any visiting supporters 179 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,000 can see it and hear about the story. 180 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,280 Perfect home for it. Yes. We'll do the best we can. 181 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,000 Yeah. Well, thank you very much. 182 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,720 And look after it. Oh, I... Don't worry, we will. 183 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,480 Okey doke. Thank you. 184 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,720 See you later. Take care. OK, thank you. Take care. Bye. 185 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,520 So, I'm just having a look at this great flag. 186 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:25,000 I really like it. However, it has got a little bit of damage 187 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,240 and, actually, the more I look at it, 188 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,320 the more I can see. It's got quite a few holes. 189 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,960 There's a couple of areas of darning. Red thread's been used. 190 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,160 So, the first thing I'd like to do is to actually wash it 191 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,000 and, by doing that, I can rehydrate the fibres, 192 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,040 so they should feel much softer. 193 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,280 Hopefully, some of this staining will come out. 194 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,520 It is a fragile textile. 195 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,200 So, what I'd like to do is give it a full support, 196 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,960 a nice new bit of fabric that will go underneath 197 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,680 and support the whole flag. 198 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:02,720 I'd like to colour match it so that it will not only support the flag, 199 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,920 but it'll visually infill all of these holes. 200 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,560 Before I do that, I must remove some of these staples. 201 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,720 So my concern with getting these staples out 202 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,600 is that I'm going to cause more damage. 203 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,600 It's quite an open weave. 204 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,600 It's quite thin, and actually, 205 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,840 these are really beefy staples. 206 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,280 I just might end up with a bit of a hole. 207 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,040 So, it's just a case of just trying to 208 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,000 sort of bend back those little arms and get them out nice and cleanly. 209 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,920 I think I'm going to be here a while. 210 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,840 I just need to take it steady. 211 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,400 To help the football powerchair's metal frame withstand 212 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,040 the rough and tumble of future matches, 213 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,120 Dom is calling on some specialists. 214 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,560 Hi! Morning. How are you doing? Not too bad. Yourself? 215 00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:01,360 First stop, Jed, for grit-blasting skills. 216 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,680 I need some help. This is part of a powerchair. 217 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,320 Typically, I would paint it, 218 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,920 but I know how this is going to be treated. Yeah. 219 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,800 So, I think powder coating will be a better solution. 220 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,720 Yeah, definitely. It's going to be more durable 221 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,200 than what's on there at the moment. 222 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,960 So, what's the process? We strip it all back at stage one, 223 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,560 back to bare metal, and start again from scratch. 224 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,000 The bits that size, we can get in the hand cabinet, 225 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,360 like that size, and strip it down with compressed air 226 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,360 and crushed angular steel. 227 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,320 Crushed angular steel? Yeah. It's almost like sandpaper. 228 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600 Yeah. OK. Well, lead the way. 229 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,520 It's done! There we go. Just like that. 230 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,200 Yep. We just need to do the same as that to all of the other 231 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,600 parts of the chair. Yeah, not a problem. 232 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,160 With the metal stripped bare... 233 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,680 Hi, Dom. How are you? 234 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,840 ..it's on to polyester powder-coating with John. 235 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,920 That's the first item I'm going to do. 236 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,160 It's hard-wearing and will last up to ten years. Ten years? 237 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,760 Maybe more. So, this is similar to my spray gun, or not? 238 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,800 No, it's got air, but this is worked with electricity. 239 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,400 So, this is electronically charged? Yeah, 240 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,880 but only very, very, very low. OK. 241 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,880 And that's what makes the powder stick? 242 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,880 Yes, it'll make the powder go anywhere. 243 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,400 This is very exciting. I can't wait to see this. 244 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,880 That is brilliant. 245 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,240 That is so cool. 246 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,120 It's incredible how... Because of that electrical charge, 247 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,400 it wraps around, it sticks. 248 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,040 But it's just a dry powder. 249 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,720 Yeah, absolutely. 250 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,280 Can I have a go? Do you mind? 251 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,440 Yeah. Maybe I'll have a go with a smaller bit. 252 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,160 OK. Hold it in your hand like this. 253 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,040 You can either go up and down or round and round. 254 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,360 There you go. Yeah? 255 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,400 Right, let me have a look. How was that? 256 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,720 Pass? Perfect.

Incredibly intricate. 279 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,560 What was your dad's name? His name was David Robert Wackett. 280 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,240 Was he a jewellery maker? 281 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,160 No, he was an engineer. 282 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,200 He started out as an apprentice, doing various jobs, 283 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,760 and became what they call a bench fitter, 284 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,560 which I believe is an engineer that fixes machinery. 285 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,000 At work, he was always tinkering, making things in his break times. 286 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,840 And this is what he made? Yeah. 287 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,000 He would go off and make a charm.

I've got to actually find something 353 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,680 that is big enough for me to carve back. 354 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,920 So, I'm just going to need to now take all of these 355 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,560 from the broken parts of the chain 356 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,560 and then try and work out a plan for remaking these. 357 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,880 David, how are you doing. Hello, mate. You all right? 358 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,240 Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. 359 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,200 I'm also hoping that these are good. Oh, wow. 360 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840 These are the motors and gearboxes from Bobby's powerchair. 361 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,240 Oh, yes, yeah. He did mention that the batteries are tired, 362 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,080 but he said, when he first turns on the chair, 363 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,520 at the start of the game, the gearboxes are a bit sluggish. 364 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,920 Would you have a look?

Yeah. 613 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,160 Yeah, he was a bit more controlled than my grandson. 614 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,800 What's your first memory of it? 615 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,520 When I was a child, eight or nine, when I first started to play on it, 616 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,800 my mum was very, very keen on traditions. 617 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,480 My brothers and I, we were all adopted, 618 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,160 all from different families, into the Chapman clan, 619 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,640 and it was really important, she said, 620 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,520 that we were made to feel like we belonged. 621 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,120 We'd go to church, we'd have lunch, the washing-up has to be done 622 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,120 and then the bagatelle board comes out. 623 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,440 My grandson, Rupert, is autistic, 624 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,040 so he would really prefer to be sat by himself somewhere. Yeah. 625 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,160 But then when this comes out, he wants to come and have a go. 626 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,120 That's lovely. You can't ask for any more than that, really, can you? 627 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,800 No. That shows the draw of it. It just brings everybody together. 628 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,000 Yeah.

Well, that's holding, so that's good. 705 00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,920 And actually, I think just a few little more snips 706 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,760 and that will just neaten that edge up. 707 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,920 So it's great when the plan comes together. 708 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,680 David has come up with a way to stabilise the fractures 709 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,960 in the side rail of the bagatelle, while concealing his repair. 710 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,680 Basically, I'm going to use a piece of veneer 711 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,240 and I'm going to splice that into the original wood. 712 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:47,280 I'm going to cut a channel into either side of the break 713 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,600 and then that will allow me to insert a new piece of wood veneer. 714 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,360 So it allows me to use the original wood, 715 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,800 but it will give it that strength back again. 716 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,760 The only downside with that sort of repair 717 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,920 is that I've got to remove all of this old wood 718 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,480 so that I can actually get to it and cut it nicely. 719 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,680 That's the first bit off, so that's good.
