Charlie Morgan; the 17 years old Ballboy kicked by Eden Hazard is heir to £42m hotel fortune

Charlie Morgan, 17, kicked in the ribs by Chelsea player Eden Hazard is the son 
of Martin Morgan, the director of 11 hotel and property companies and the person who is on the Swansea City board of directors; is heir to a £42million fortune, it emerged today.


That is why Charlie was playing the role of a ballboy for yesterday's League Cup semi-final against the London side. Posting on Twitter before the game, the teenager wrote: ‘The king of all ballboys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting.'

Mr Morgan comes in at number 32 in the top 100 list for Wales - ahead
of Premier League footballers Michael Owen and Ryan Giggs and 80s rock chick Bonnie Tyler. Ben Watkins, 18, a former school friend of Charlie's, said: 'He must be the richest ballboy in football. He's mad about Swansea City - what he did was a bit foolish especially after be boasted he was going to time waste. I guess he's been a bit spoiled because his dad's got pots of money.'

In posts on Twitter Charlie brags about drinking Veuve Clicquot champagne and going on holiday to Las Vegas and Dubai. During last night's game, £170,000-a-week Chelsea star Hazard was trying to regain the ball when it went out of play late in the game with the club facing a League Cup exit at the hands of Swansea.

He apparently became infuriated when the boy fell to the ground, landed on the ball and smothered it - costing Chelsea valuable seconds. Hazard tried to kick it from under the teenager but caught him in the ribs before he finally grabbed the ball and ran off.

The 22-year-old Belgian footballer, who joined the club for £32million last summer from French side Lille, was sent off after the incident at Swansea City’s Liberty Stadium. Hazard - whose red card came in the 80th minute of the second leg of the semi-final, which finished 0-0 - walked off the pitch. Several Chelsea players went to tend to the ballboy, left holding his ribs.

The footballer was widely criticised over the incident, but some people blamed Charlie for the encounter after it emerged he had boasted that he planned to waste time during the match. After the controversial tweet about 'timewasting', he added: ‘Haven’t been doing it this season been ask to come back to run them because the person can’t come in cos of the snow.’

The college student was examined by medics in an ambulance but was not seriously injured. Although police interviewed Charlie in the presence of his father, the family did not choose to press charges, and they were invited into the Chelsea dressing room where both the teenager and Hazard apologised for their role in the fracas.
