They golfed and played chess. Hazard met the ball boy he hit 11 years ago

On January 23, 2013, during a Carabao Cup match between Swansea and Chelsea, footballer Eden Hazard kicked a ball boy named Charlie Morgan.

In 2015, Morgan, along with a school friend, established the premium vodka brand “Au Vodka” to fill a gap in the UK market. Its distinctive feature was a golden bottle. The vodka gained promotion through endorsements from notable figures like Floyd Mayweather and Ronaldinho. The Times ranked Morgan and his friend 24th in their “young rich” list, estimating their wealth at £40 million each.

In a positive turn of events, Eden Hazard, who had kicked the young man during the incident back then, recently reunited with him for a friendly meeting. They engaged in activities such as playing chess and golf, capturing the moments with photos. Additionally, Hazard actively participated in the advertising campaign for Charlie Morgan’s products.

Reflecting on their reunion, the former Chelsea player expressed his sentiment, stating, “A pleasant thing in retirement is meeting old friends. You’ve come a long way in 11 years, my friend.”
