The ballboy Hazard kicked 11 years ago is now a millionaire: He owns a business worth an estimated £40m
Charlie Morgan will forever be known as that Swansea ball boy who wound up Eden Hazard and got a 'kicking' for it.
At the age of 17, on 23 January 2013, the youngster attempted to waste some time during Swansea's League Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea.
He appeared to shield the ball from Hazard when it went out for a corner, with Chelsea losing 2-0 and less than 10 minutes to go in the clash.
Hazard was seen attempting to kick the ball from under the teenager, but Morgan's reaction saw the Belgium international sent off for violent conduct.
Chelsea were ultimately knocked out and the youngster was celebrated in South Wales and less so in west London.
However, ten years later, he's all grown up and worth a reported £40 million thanks to his multi-million pound alcohol company - Au Vodka, which he set up in 2016 alongside his school friend Jackson Quinn.
It really came into fruition in December 2019, when the pair managed to sell more than 10,000 bottles of one of their black grape produce in a single month.
His product has even been endorsed by famous people afar - with ex-footballer Ronaldinho and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather taking a liking, while boxer Jake Paul got a branded tattoo of a bottle on his arm.
He is still some way off the net worth of Hazard, but Au Vodka is rapidly growing and produces 35,000 bottles per day.
It looks as though Charlie has made a name for himself in other areas away from the ball boy incident - and now Eden Hazard is another to taste his award-winning liquor.
