Very Young Ioans
Pobol Y Cwm, the Welsh language soap that Ioan was in as a child actor, had it's own football team and I have a programme from the time celebrating this fact. Below is a pic of Ioan from the team photo and also his entry in the programme. A rough translation of the Welsh is below. This is around 1988, which makes Ioan about 15 yrs. IOAN GRUFFUDD (Gareth Wynn) Cardiff POSITION: Wing QUALIFICATIONS: 1 A Level and 1 O level STRENGTH: I can get on the school-bus for half-fare!

Awwwwwwwwwww!! How cute! thanks for the translation as well. Very cute 'strength' *g*

Very cute teenager! Thanks for the translation, Stevie. I wonder how he managed to get on the school bus for half fare... it is a strength I would have liked to have when I was at school :whistle :wink:

Very cute. You can see the beginnings of that irresistible smile. Thanks for posting that, Stevie.

Totally cute! Handsome young man even then,wasn't he?

OMGoshhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Cuteness!!!!! I´m totally crazy about that smile! Cute legs too!!!!!

Haha, what a cutie!! :mrgreen:

Oh that is lovely! Thank you for posting!

That's sweet Stevie! However did you manage it?? :rotf: That Welsh language is an odd one isn't it??? Wow! I don't think I've ever even heard it spoken. I didn't even know they had their own language until coming here to this board.

Wauw, what a handsome young fellow. His eyes and his smile are fascinating. Thanks Stevie for sharing this with us. :love:

He looks so much like JC Chasez from Nsync as a kid. So cute. Love his smile.

A couple of pics from Pobyl Y Cwm (thank sto BBC Wales) Ioan is around fourteen, I think....

Awww.

Aww, I think it was easy for those who met Ioan when he was a teenager to imagine he would grow up to be.

Wauw Stevie, thank you so much.
