Usain Bolt, the eight-time Olympic gold medal winner, made a surprise visit to a football club in the north west of England
It was one of the more unexpected social media posts of the season. It came from Burnley and showed a visitor to the club’s training ground smiling in front of a slogan reading: “It’s a way of life.” This, however, was no ordinary guest: this was Usain Bolt, the eight-time Olympic gold medal winner, the holder of world records in the men’s 100m and 200m, and one of the most famous sportsmen on the planet.
He posed for a picture with Rovers’ players after the game, which was posted on the club’s official social media channels, and stayed in The Avenue Hotel in the Ribble Valley, which includes former Blackburn midfielder David Dunn as one of its owners. Advertisement “He has been a massive influence and inspiration for Che,” Gardner added. “He’s always been supportive of him. He will give him advice as much as possible, being a mentor whenever needed.
