Goal takes a look at the Jamaican sprinter's football ambitions and his unending love for the beautiful game

Usain Bolt is one of the most successful athletes of all time and his exploits during his career have marked him out as the best sprinter in history.

An eight-time Olympic gold-medallist, Bolt set new records for the 100 metre and 200 metre sprint races, dominating the athletics scene for over a decade before retiring in 2017.

Throughout his career in athletics, Bolt often spoke of his desire to eventually make a transition into football and, while it raised a few laughs, it was no joke for the Jamaican.
