Heine Allemagne, the man who invented the magic disappearing free kick spray for football grounds is set to become a millionaire as his spray is being eyed by Premier League bosses.

The foam keeps the defenders' wall 10 yards away and disappears after 60 seconds and is expected to be used across the globe in the coming days, the Mirror reported. The spray was used for the first time at the Sao Paulo match.

Allemagne, who comes from a poor household, spent 14 years in developing the spray, the report added. He never attended school and sold ice lollies on the streets to help his family.

 

The idea struck him when he heard someone on the television saying; "if anyone will ever find a way of keeping the wall in place during a free kick." He immediately decided to find a solution and ended up discovering the magic spray.
