The Belgian then found himself kicking the then youngster after the ball-boy fell on the ball - an action which earned him a straight red card while the Swans progress to the final.

After the incident, he posted on social media back then confirming that he was not interested in pressing charges, he said:

“Crazy 24 hours. Spoke to Hazard and I will not be pressing charges. Be in touch.”

Charlie is the son of Martin Morgan - one of the biggest shareholders in Swansea and according to Daily Star, he was already pursuing business as a career - taking his A levels at the time of the match. And that has become a reality, setting up an ultra-premium vodka brand with a friend.

Two years after his incident with Hazard, Morgan was 19 when he and his friend Jackson Quinn noticed a gap in the market for a new brand of the alcoholic drink. They told WalesOnline :

“We were 18, 19, 20 at the time and every one of our friends for their birthday would always get a bottle of the same old vodkas. We just felt it was a bit boring. We just felt we could do it a little bit better.”

Producing 2,000 bottles and launching them around Swansea, they used an eye-catching gold bottle to name their brand Au Vodka.

Their brand got a lot more recognition after being picked up by DJ and TV presenter Charlie Sloth who was so impressed that he invested in the pair.

This saw them launch a Black Grape flavour in 2019, using endorsements from UK rappers and celebrities to sell 10,000 bottles in 2019.

And this rocketed to 1.7m during the Covid-19 pandemic last year, leading Morgan and Quinn to own the biggest user premium vodka brand in the UK for sales, with the exception of Smirnoff.

A big part of their growth has been Instagram, where Au Vodka has 104,000 followers - and that helped them reach multi-millionaire athlete Mayweather.
