Remember the passer of the ball that Hazard kicked 10 years ago? Now he’s a millionaire, backed by Ronaldinho

Eden Hazard used to be a phenomenal footballer a few years back. One of the best in the world. However, he hasn’t escaped some controversy. For example, in 2013 he kicked a passer of the ball on Swansea’s ground. And while Hazard is fading into obscurity 10 years later, the then 16-year-old is now a millionaire.

It was January 2013. After transferring from Lille for €35 million, Eden Hazard had his debut season in a Chelsea jersey and began to write his story as one of the best footballers of his time.

Right from his arrival at Stamford Bridge, the Belgian has been a key player for the Blues. However, in the aforementioned January 2013, he performed in a negative light on the Swansea soil. While trying to get the ball back into play quickly, he kicked the only 16-year-old passer of the ball, who in turn tried to save time for Swansea.

Hazard received a red card from the referee and the whole incident was widely covered in the media around the world. This is simply not the way one of the greatest talents in world football should behave.

However, the incident is now 10 years old, and while the now 32-year-old Hazard is fading into obscurity after his transfer to Real Madrid, the aforementioned ball feeder has moved on in life.

The youngster that Hazard kicked is called Charlie Morgan. He’s 26 years old. And he’s thriving in life, having been included in the Sunday Times Rich List, or what’s your list of the rich, for 2022.

In fact, Morgan founded Au Vodka with his friend in 2016. The latter is now one of the big producers, producing 35,000 bottles of vodka a day. The company is now worth £40 million.

And to make matters worse, Morgan’s company has some interesting fans. For example, former footballer Ronaldinho and boxer Floyd Mayweather are fans of his vodka.
