With a brilliant athletics career done and dusted, Jamaican sprint king Usian Bolt has seemingly set his sights on a football career.

Having trained with German giants Borussia Dortmund and about to line up for his beloved Manchester United in a charity match against Barcelona, Bolt pulling on football boots in a professional capacity isn't exactly as far fetched as it sounds.
With reportedly a dozen clubs ready to offer the world's fastest man a trial, one with a strong Aussie connection has announced its interest.
English Championship club Burton Albion, the home of Socceroo Jackson Irvine, seemed to send out some very clear interest in the 30-year-old recently.
"I’m sure the manager would give him a trial," Albion chairman Ben Robinson told SunSport.
"He’s done a tremendous amount for his sport.
"If he can apply the same amount of enthusiasm and dedication to soccer then who knows what might lie ahead?
"The standard is very high (in the Championship) and obviously he would need a level of talent to get his place in the team."
Despite that promise, Albion manager Nigel Clough clearly isn't too impressed with his chairman's interest in Bolt.
"It’s a good job he doesn’t pick the players then, isn’t it?" Clough told reporters after Albion's 2-0 loss to Middlesbrough on Tuesday.
"Would I be interested? No.
"I’m interested in trying to get a win in Friday night, no distractions."
Mixed messages no doubt for Bolt who has been handed the chance to attract more potential suitors on September 2 when he lines up for the Manchester United Legends against former Barcelona stars.
A dream come true for Bolt who has been a lifelong Red Devils fan and has been waiting for United manager Jose Mourinho to give him a call.
