This image was posted by Wimbledon’s official twitter account

In a rather humorous aftermath of the controversial and hotly-debated issue of Eden Hazard kicking Swansea ball boy Charlie Morgan in the Swansea-Chelsea game which saw Swansea go to the finals of the Capital One Cup, and has the footballing community divided, Wimbledon FC’s official twitter account has posted a picture of a ball boy apparently ‘training’  to not give the ball to the opposition.

The tweet, from the handle @AFCWimbledon, read:

We have had the ballboys in early for training today ahead of tonight’s televised match twitter.com/AFCWimbledon/s…

Morgan, who had jokingly tweeted that he would waste time to help Swansea’s cause, has 80,000 new followers after the incident took place.

Wimbledon’s official account has also gained quite a few followers after they posted the humorous picture, gaining the highest number of followers for a League side, where they are competing, in a single week.

This just goes to the show, the bigger the controversy, the higher the number of followers!

Update: The tweet has now been removed by Wimbledon’s official twitter account.
