Hazard was attempting to retrieve the ball from off the pitch, and the then-17-year-old Morgan deliberately tried to delay him. Hazard accidentally kicked Morgan and was sent off, while Morgan’s face was plastered all over the news in the aftermath. Only two years later, Morgan created Au Vodka with his friend Quinn. Then, in 2017, the drink was invested in by celebrity DJ and presenter Charlie Sloth. The drink became more famous as Sloth got his contacts in rap and grime to promote it, and now it has been sold for a mammoth fee. It even received endorsements from sporting superstars like Floyd Mayweather and Ronaldinho.
