Tottenham ball boy Callum Hynes: Mourinho's praise made 'my life'

The Tottenham ballboy who was praised by Jose Mourinho for his heads-up thinking during Spurs' thrilling 4-2 Champions League victory over Olympiakos on Tuesday has said the Portguese's words not only made his day, but his "life."

Fifteen-year-old Callum Hynes started a Spurs move that led to the side's 50th-minute equaliser against the Greeks by quickly supplying Serge Aurier with a ball to put back into play. Aurier then found a streaking Lucas Moura who eventually cut back for Harry Kane to pull Spurs even at 2-2.

After the match, Mourinho singled out Hynes for his part in the move.
