Former Chelsea star Hazard made amends with ball boy he kicked in 2013
One of the most memorable images of Hazard is of the Chelsea player out of his mind, kicking a ball boy during a Chelsea-Swansea EFL Cup match. Eleven years later, the Belgian has been reunited with that boy.

Eden Hazard decided to hang up his boots and is making the most of his time. The former footballer surprised everyone in one of his latest posts with some images of a boy who many remembered as a much younger boy.
"A nice thing about retirement is catching up with old friends. You have come a long in way in 11 years my friend," Hazard wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Charlie Morgan, the boy standing next to him in the photographs, is the same one Hazard kicked during a Chelsea-Swansea EFL Cup semi-final first leg match at Stamford Bridge.
At the time, Charlie Morgan was 17 years old. He was the son of Swansea manager Martin Morgan, and he was a ball boy. In the 78th minute of the game, with the score at 0-0, Chelsea wanted to get the ball out quickly. The boy lay down on top of the ball to try to stop Hazard putting the ball into play, and he got the player off his feet and kicked him in the ribs several times.
Time has passed and Charlie Morgan has become one of the richest men in England. Nothing remains of the scuffle between the ball boy and the footballer. With these photos, they have shown that everything passes and that they can enjoy life with each other.
