First it was the Hazard ball boy kick. Soon followed the snowball incident at Stoke. Ball boys have suddenly come into the spotlight for some mischief on and off the pitch.
However,the two incidents are not anything new, with many ball boys having gained fame through their actions the world over. So, its time to take a look at the Top 5 ball boy incidents in Football.
At No. 5 is a ball boy in Greece, who was the cause of a brawl between PAOK and opponents Panionis, after being pushed by Dario Fernandez, of Panionis.
At No.4 is a ball boy in Brazil who cleared a ball from right on the goal line, and which was destined to end up in the back of the net.
3. At No.3 is a Chievo ball boy who refused to accept then AC Milan player Sulley Muntari. The boy offers the shirt right back to Muntari in this very amusing video.
2. At No.2, former Stuttgart and Arsenal goalie Jens Lehmann is embarrassed by a spirited Hannover ball boy.
1. At No.1 is a ball girl for Brazilian (again!) club Botafogo, who helped her team defeat Vasco Da Gama by virtually becoming a 12th player for the team.
