Usain Bolt returns to football

Колишня зірка спринту та найшвидша людина планети Усейн Болт готується знову вийти на футбольне поле. На офіційному веб-сайті Футбольної асоціації Англії  40-річний ямаєць з'явився у заявці команди недільної ліги Вітеншоу Ветс. The team, based in south Manchester, play in the Premier Division of the Cheshire Veteran Football League (for players aged over 35) and have already managed to attract quite a bit of attention. Bolt found himself in incredible company, because Wythenshawe's squad is full of former professionals of the highest level. Under the leadership of the ex-midfielder of Manchester City and the national team of Ireland Stephen Ireland, the following players play for the team: Emil Heskey (ex-striker of the England and Liverpool national team), Antonio Valencia (former captain of Manchester United), Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater (owners of the Premier League title), Papiss Cisse (ex-striker of Newcastle), Oumar Niasse (ex-striker) Everton), Nedum Onuoha (former Manchester City player). Bolt, who still holds the 100m and 200m world records since 2009, has always been a huge fan of football and Manchester United in particular. After completing his track and field career in 2017, he decided to try his hand at professional football. In 2018, he spent eight weeks with the Australian A-League team Central Coast Mariners, where he even scored two goals in a friendly match. He later turned down a contract from Malta's Valletta and left professional football, but regularly took part in all-star charity matches for Soccer Aid. Представники клубу Вітеншоу поки що офіційно не оголосили про підписання Болта і не надали коментарів журналістам. Нагадаємо, раніше стало відомо, що  Роберто Баутіста Агут розпочав нову кар'єру.
