Charlie Morgan is one of the 35 richest young people under 35 in the UK today. The precocious billionaire owns a successful vodka brand and has amassed more cash in his coffers than a footballer like Harry Kane. However, more than his business, Charlie is known as a events that took place only 10 years ago with Eden Hazard as the protagonist. He is the same boy the Belgian kicked in the Swansea-Chelsea game when he was still a ball boy.

It all happened in 2013 in a League Cup semifinal game. Charlie, the son of Martin Morgan, the director of the Welsh club, was one of the men who served as ball boy in that historic game. Swansea held on to a 0-2 win at Stamford Bridge at home and are one step away from the final. On Twitter he has made his intentions clear: “Raja ball boys are back for exhibition wasting time“.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of when Hazard kicked a Swansea ball boy. Years later, the boy, Charlie Morgan, started making a living with a vodka export company that catered to, among other things, high-level players. @ChelseaChadder pic.twitter.com/sdyQqtxUPc

In the 78th minute with the score at 0-0 and Chelsea rushing back, the ball went out the side where Charlie Morgan was. Instead of returning it, he kept it in his possession and lay down on the ball to prevent Hazard from serving quickly and the Belgian was in the throes as it finally kicked him in the ribs to make him shed his skin.. The action ended with Eden sent off and Swansea clinching a 5-0 final win over Bradford.

Three years later Charlie started his career in business. Together with a colleague, he created an exclusive vodka brand for which he has also made a fortune of £55 million: Fancy gold bottles of AU Vodka are a fixture in many bars and clubs, but ten years ago 27 year old Morgan became known as the 17 year old ballboy who was kicked in the rib by Chelsea footballer Eden Hazard. With Swansea City leading on the scoresheet, Morgan appeared to lay down on the ball in an attempt to prevent the Belgian from playing it back. Hazard attacked him and was sent off. Morgan is determined the incident will not define his life. Three years later, the hotel owner’s son launches a vodka brand with school friend Jackson Quinn. AU sales soar to £43.9 million in 2021-22“, is the text The Times uses to announce the boy turning from a ball boy to hanging out with soccer players.
