The story of the best ball-kid in the world

Once upon a cold, rainy Hamburg night…

Okay, so there is no need to be that dramatic. But, really, this ball boy on the second goal for St Pauli, which proved to be the one that won the game, is something else. The form is excellent, not a zipped basketball pass, just a little loft on it that made the catch and throw easy.

Which got me thinking: Why don’t we start training ball boys on the perfect throw technique? Ball boys are all a part of home field advantage, after all. Sometimes they “lose” a ball when the home team is winning in the final minutes, but rarely do you see the ball boy play a role in helping a team score.

Whatever you do, St Pauli, don’t let the Man Us and Madrids see this kid in action…

The sequence starts around 2:30
