Ex-Swansea City Ballboy Set for £500m Windfall
Swansea City's former ballboy Charlie Morgan is set to make £500m from the sale of his Au Vodka brand, 13 years after the infamous incident with Eden Hazard. Morgan, now 30, was 17 when he refused to give the ball back to Hazard during a League Cup semi-final clash in January 2013.
What Happened?
The incident sparked fury, with Hazard attempting to kick the ball free from underneath Morgan. The match ultimately finished 0-0, but it was enough to send Swansea through to the final on aggregate thanks to a 2-0 win earlier in the month at Stamford Bridge.
Why it Matters for Swansea City
Morgan's success beyond football is a testament to the club's ability to produce talented individuals. His Au Vodka brand has experienced extraordinary growth, with the company previously valued at approximately £150 million.
What Comes Next?
Morgan and his business partner, Jackson Quinn, are set to receive substantial windfalls, with reports suggesting they will walk away with payouts exceeding £100 million. The deal is expected to be completed soon, with negotiations ongoing for several months.
League Standing
Swansea City currently sits 7th in the Championship, with 3 points from 1 game, recent form W. The team has scored 2 goals this season, conceding 1, with a goal difference of +1.
Currently Sidelined
Cameron Burgess, Gonçalo Franco, and Ross Stewart are currently sidelined for the team.
