Nuts and Bolt! Sprint legend grabs double after painful kick
SYDNEY, Oct 12, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Sprint legend Usain Bolt scored his first
goals in professional football Friday after starting up front in a pre-season
game for Australia’s Central Coast Mariners.
The 100 metres world record-holder, who is bidding for a professional
contract, recovered from a painful kick in the groin to grab a double against
Macarthur South West United in Sydney.
Bolt, 32, finished with his left foot after some slack marking on 55
minutes, celebrating with his trademark ‘Lightning Bolt’ pose.
The Jamaican then capitalised on a defensive mix-up to score his second on
69 minutes before being substituted six minutes later with the score at 4-0.
It was the first game Bolt has started since joining the A-League club in
August for an indefinite trial.
