Eleven public figures with fewer Twitter followers than Charlie Morgan

He was unheard of before being kicked by Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard last night, but now Charlie Morgan has more Twitter followers than the club he supports.

The 17 year old ball-boy was not harmed after Hazard appeared to kick out at the Swansea City fan in the latter stages of last night’s 0-0 draw.

And although it has been confirmed that he will not take further action against the Chelsea star, he has benefited by earning over 85,000 followers since the incident – more than the official Swansea City account.

Here is an alternative Twitter football team, who all have fewer followers than the oldest ball-boy ever.

Delighted Munster picked it up. Assuming no freak result at Leicester better to be in q/f than not and better to be at quins than France.
