Speaking to Jayesh and Jay Pete said, “I’m hoping it looks like new, as long as it’s not blue and white!”
After the hat’s restoration, Pete and Angela were amazed when the cover was removed.
Pete exclaimed: “Wow! That is fantastic. That is superb, thank you. The first match of the season, that will be on my head.”
Pete then tried the hat on and it fit him perfectly. “Thank you very much,” he told Jayesh. “You’ve made me a very happy man. It’s part of me… It’s me. It gets me here,” he added as he held back tears. “I’ll remember you Jayesh, a long, long time.”
Pete suggested he might sleep in the cap that night, and he’ll certainly be bringing it along to all of Rotherham’s upcoming matches.
