More than 21 years later, the referee of an Hellas match will again be replaced due to injury. It will happen at around 30’ also and he will be from Wales, too!
Welshmen have refereed 4 Hellas matches so far. I think, 2 out of 4 ain’t that bad...
UEFA & FIFA should bear that in mind, while choosing referees for Hellas matches. (link: )

The name of the referee was Iorwerth not Lorwerth.
