Bolt out of the blue: Ex-Mariner joins UK Sunday League

Usain Bolt, the legendary athlete and world record holder in the 100m, is registered to play for Wythenshawe Vets FC, a veteran football team in Manchester, England, according to the Football Association's website.
Wythenshawe Vets FC has attracted former professional footballers including Emile Heskey, Antonio Valencia, Joleon Lescott, and Danny Drinkwater to join their over-35s side.
Bolt previously played professional football for the Australian A-League team Central Coast Mariners, scoring two goals in a friendly in 2018 before retiring from football in early 2019.
Although the club has not officially confirmed Bolt's participation this season, the move seems possible as he pursued football after retiring from athletics in 2017.
