Welcoming Luis Gardner back to Ysgol Dinas Brân before the under 19s Euros!

We were delighted to welcome back former YDB pupil Luis Gardner for a special Q&A session with our boys’ and girls’ football teams.

Luis shared his journey from his time as a pupil at YDB to representing Everton FC and earning international honours with Wales U19s. Our students gained a fascinating insight into the dedication, hard work and resilience required to succeed at the highest level of the game.

With the upcoming UEFA U19 European Championships on the horizon, it was fantastic for our young footballers to hear first-hand about Luis’ experiences and ambitions for the future.

Luis is a true inspiration to our students and the wider YDB community. We are incredibly proud of everything he has achieved so far and look forward to following his continued success.

A huge thank you to Luis for giving up his time to speak with our students and answer their questions so openly and honestly.

Good luck at the Euros, Luis — everyone at YDB is behind you!
