I used to make catches like that ALLLLLL the fucking time when I was a kid. So really, this Ballboy is the next me, which is to say nobody.

Honestly, I watched this repeatedly mostly to hear the crowd cheer for the ballboy.

So he's like the Noam Chomsky of athletics?

Was he the greatest ballboy of all time?>> ^Yogi:

Ok Jerry Rice is probably the greatest athlete to have ever lived so lets lay off.

>> ^RadHazG:
any info on why this kid was such a douche here?


Well the ballboys are usually kids from the area of the hometeam, so he was likely getting a little carried away in trying to help his homeclub Hannover by delaying the gameplay a bit. (It was the 81st Minute and Hannover was up 1:0)
His name is Aron Schulz by the way.
Here is a little more info on the story in english.

Can you edit the fail title.
Ballboy ran 35 yards in the time Knox ran 40 yards.

That is SLOWER. Not "outrun"

Found one where the exact opposite happens. A ballboy puts the ball in the net and the goal was awarded. Crazy.

That's crazy!
Are ballboys part of the teams, or they part of the crew?
