Everyone knows who this guy is. The champion Olympic sprinter. But he recently retired from the sport about a year ago. When he did I read some crazy stuff about him wanting to become a professional soccer player. I completely disregarded it. But now he's unofficially agreed to an actual deal with Australian club Central Coast Mariners! Even sillier, is that it looks like if he makes the grade, he will wear number 9.58 on his jersey.
If this is actually real and he ends up playing, it will do wonders for Australian soccer, which is doing pretty badly compared to our main two codes. That said, I really doubt whether he's good enough. He's an amazing sprinter and athlete, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's going to succeed in this code.
What do you think? Do you think it's a real story? Will he make the cut? Would you watch Usain Bolt on a soccer field?

i mean i don't follow soccer but realistically if he has the foot control i assume he'll be able to do well? I hadn't even remotely heard of him switching to teh sport so that sound interesting
