An Antiques Roadshow expert was thrilled when a guest showed off his impressive football memorabilia that linked to his famous dad.
Specialist Wayne Colquhoun was at Powis Castle in Wales as the son of Hugh Johns, an ITV football commentator, brought a very important family archive.
The guest appeared on Sunday's BBC show and explained: "Hugh Johns is my father and he was an ITV football commentator in 1966 and many years later.

The archive includes a work contract, timesheets, journals and the official programme - which features the final game England vs West Germany.
He also shared his father's final words on the game - 'It's Hurst. I think he'll make it three. He has, he has. That's it, that's...it.'
Wayne opened the official programme and saw the England team page filled with signatures on every player's image, except one.
"I was staying with my father the night before, at the team hotel, I was lucky enough to have a) the programme the day before the final and b) collect every single player and some of the backroom staff's autographs, except for Mr J Greaves," the guest said.
"He was not playing in the final and he wasn't around for me to collect his autograph."
Impressed by the story and the archive, Wayne said the "provenance couldn't get any better than that".
He continued: "I think we're talking about a couple of thousand pounds. With the larger archive here, we've got another couple of thousand pounds.
"So I think, in total, £4,000 to £5,000 if you were ever to sell it. Thanks for bringing them in."
The guest raised his eyebrows and beamed a smile, nodding: "Yes, my pleasure."
