Antiques Roadshow featured a guest recently who had brought a collection of football memorabilia that he said were connected to his well-known father.
The latest episode of the BBC show was hosted at Powis Castle and Garden in Powys and showed various guests having antiques valued by experts at the historic venue.
This included a "family archive" of football memorabilia from the World Cup in 1966, which had seen the national England squad beat West Germany's team 4-2 in the final.
Among the collection was a press pass for the event and an official programme, which were discussed by the guest who had brought them and antiques expert Wayne Colquhoun.
The guest revealed that his father was late commentator Hugh Johns, who's best known for having worked for ITV. This included him having covered the World Cup in 1966.
Hugh is said to have attended every England group game at the tournament that year and Wayne was shown going through a notebook that he'd written in at the time.
The collection also included an official programme for the final, which the guest said had belonged to him. It featured autographs from most of the England team at the time.
The guest - who said his dad later covered another four other World Cup finals and commentated into the 1980s - said he had been at the 1966 tournament's final with Hugh.
He said: "I was staying with my father the night before at the team hotel and I was lucky enough to have the programme the day before the final and collect every single player and some of the backroom staff's autograph, [...] except for Mr J Greaves".
It was noted that late footballer Jimmy Greaves didn't get to play in the final, with the guest commenting: "He wasn't around for me to collect his autograph".
Wayne seemed impressed with the programme, telling the guest: "When we talk about provenance, you can't get better than that. You were there. You had it signed."
"With your provenance for this 1966 World Cup final programme, all the signatures except Jimmy Greaves, I think we're talking a couple of thousand pounds," he explained.
He added that the larger archive from commentator Hugh's career would be worth about the same. He estimated that overall the collection could be worth up to £5,000.
"With the larger archive here, we've got another couple of thousand pounds. So I think in total four to five thousand pounds if you were ever to sell it," he commented.
Antiques Roadshow continues on Sunday evening (April 9) on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 8pm. You can catch up on previous episodes now through BBC iPlayer.
