Just a heads up re Eamonn Fitzmaurice restoration site, received back from him a programme this week that I had restored and to say I am pleased with it is an understatement did not have any high hopes of him being able to do anything with it..... But it has come back as good has when it left the printer a truly amazing job done.
So what I am saying and you are a fusst so and so like me and every prog you have must be in mint condition do not hesitate to send to him.. You will not be disappointed. |

Not a criticism, more curiosity, but it would be useful if someone posted some before and after pics of said items. Always wondered what sort of work gets done _________________ www.programmehut.com - The Internet Dealers

I HAVE TO SAY HE DOES NOT WORK HARD ENOUGH PUTTING HIS BEFORE AND AFTER WORK ON HIS WEBSITE AS MOST OF THE FOOTBALL ITEMS WERE DONE UP TO 30 YEARS AGO I BET.
Anyway, this is something he rescued for me in the early 1990's when he lived in Bradford before he moved to Lincoln.
I bought what was left of this Newspaper for the headline paying a £1, I paid Eamonn £70 to have it restored which was an awful amount but it needed a lot of time and effort spent on it and the results are there to see.
It still hangs on a wall with me-an iconic headline for any United fan.
I have used Eamonn over the years for small inexpensive items and also for the odd expensive item too and he has never disappointed.

I understand Eammon is not keeping well and isn't taking on any work at the moment. I also believe the gentleman who used to do restoration for Sportingold is no longer doing it either and his advert has been removed from their catalogues.
Are there any other restoration options out there? _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/footballprogrammes/albums |

I guess not Tynie, there was someone else but i do not have the details but if they had any acumen then they would be advertising in PM or on Forums like this so perhaps its just down to Eammon?.
Hopefully it is nothing too serious and that he can recover and continue with his work. _________________ Leslie Millman

I'm wondering if searching on Google for antique book or antique paper restorers may yield anybody who would be able to tackle the restoration of a football programme.
After all its not a huge jump skillset wise from a book to a programme... |

I can recommend Richard Reeve Restoration in Wakefield.
He mainly works on antique books but has helped me out with a couple of programmes over the years. |
