Kicked ball boy is the richest in football

Charlie Morgan after the incident.

The ball boy who got kicked by Eden Hazard in the game against Swansea is the heir to a whopping £42m fortune. His dad Martin Morgan, is the director of 11 Morgan hotels and also one of the club’s board of directors. He has powerful friends like Hollywood couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.

Charlie Morgan, 17, a die hard Swansea fan said that he would help his team by wasting time. He tweeted,“The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting.”

In the 80th minute of the game, Charlie got the ball and refused to give the ball back to Hazard, which made the £32 million signing kick him on his ribs.

Charlie and Hazard both met each other later in the dressing room and settled the issue by apologizing to each other.

The police said that they are looking into the matter as three complaints were received from the public after the game. A spokesman said: “Three calls have been received from people living in Sussex, Kent and West Wales which are being followed up.”

Hazard, thought to be on £170,000-a-week, apologised on Chelsea TV. He said: “I think I kicked the ball and not the boy. I apologise. The ball boy came in the changing room and we had a chat and I apologised and he apologised. It is over. Sorry.”

Charlie had just about 600 followers on Twitter before this incident with Hazard, but the youngster was “trending” on the site yesterday with over 80,000 followers.

A friend of Charlie, Ben Watkins said: “He must be the richest ball boy in football. He’s mad about Swansea City. What he did was a bit foolish especially after he boasted he was going to time-waste. But I guess he’s been a bit spoiled because his dad has got pots of money.
