Soccer star Wayne Rooney has begun legal action against a Welsh TV actor for the ownership of two websites in the player’s name.
Huw Marshall registered WayneRooney.com and WayneRooney.co.uk in April 2002, when the striker was just 16.
The case has been taken to the United Nations’ World Intellectual Property Organisation in Geneva, Switzerland.
Mr Marshall, who is in Welsh-language drama Tipyn o Stad, said it was with solicitors and he could not comment.
