An expert from Antiques Roadshow, Wayne Colquhoun, recently made headlines for his lively comments about a historical item from Liverpool. During the episode aired on March 23, he reviewed various antiques at Alexandra Gardens in Cardiff. Among the featured items were a rare Welsh rugby shirt and unseen photos of The Rolling Stones. The focus of attention was a 1973 match program from a football game featuring Leicester City and Liverpool FC. The guest, whose father was referee Iorwerth Price Jones, shared the story of that controversial match. Colquhoun recalled the match vividly, saying, “I was actually there. I probably shouted a few names at your father, so I have to apologize.” He noted that the match ended in a draw, with her father disallowing a crucial goal for Leicester. Colquhoun reflected on his admiration for Liverpool's legendary manager, Bill Shankly, who was involved in that match. Colquhoun estimated the total value of the woman's collection at around £1,000, but emphasized the cultural significance of the items over their monetary worth. The guest shared that her father was passionate about his role as a referee, always aiming to ensure fair play and that fans remember the game, not the referee.
