Dreams do become reality; just watch Bolt dribble
Those who’ve followed Usain Bolt will know that running was not his only passion. He has a love for football and often expressed his dreams to play professionally.

Considered the greatest sprinter of all time, retired Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt holds the world records for both the 100m and 200m sprint events, and eight Olympic gold medals to boot.
But those who've followed the flyer will know that running was not his only passion.
He has a love for football (his favourite team is Manchester United) and has often expressed his dreams to play professionally.
So, whilst the Theatre of Dreams may be a stride to far, 32-year old Bolt did strap his boots on and played for Australian outfit Central Coast Mariners this week.
