1995 Ford Festiva clutch playing up

I'm having trouble getting my 1995 Ford Festiva into 1st and 2nd. If I turn the ignition off it goes into gear fine. I bought the car in 2014, and it had apparently just had clutch done. What do you think could be wrong with it?

The most obvious thing is that the clutch has gone, but before you replace check that the clutch is disengaging when you depress the pedal.
