Ball boy saved – kicker is celebrated as a “hero”
Scary moments at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon: during West Ham United's goal celebration, a billboard collapsed and fell on a ball boy. Premier League professional Tomas Soucek reacted with presence of mind and helped the unfortunate man. Now the kicker is being celebrated as a "hero".
Great jubilation at West Ham United! After the 1:0 lead against Glasner's club Crystal Palace, there was no stopping them. The players rushed to the fans and celebrated. A billboard fell over and landed on a ball boy who was standing between the players and the visiting supporters.
Goalscorer Soucek reacted quickly and saved the youngster from serious injury. Soucek lifted the heavy advertising board, allowing the ball boy to free himself from the awkward situation.
Colleague Jarrod Bowen, who scored the second goal for the Hammers, calmed the crying boy down.
Jersey gift
After the game, Bowen presented the child, who fortunately remained unharmed, with his match jersey. And teammate Soucek was full of praise. "Soucek is an absolute hero because he saved the ball boy from worse," said one user online. Another wrote: "Tomas Soucek. Goalscorer. Hero."
