Tuesday’s announcement that Usain Bolt will be joining the A-League has been met with excitement from north of Sydney to south of Lake Macquarie – as the world’s fastest man confirms he has signed with the Central Coast Mariners.
Bolt had long expressed a desire to play professional football, but has not been able to make that dream come true, after trialling with German club Borussia Dortmund and Stromsgodset in Norway – but finding himself unable to secure a contract at either.
It appears Bolt has already spent time getting to know the unique people and culture of Central Coast New South Wales, after being spotted with his a new hotted up LowLux in the Kincumber Maccas car park, just 11 kilometres South-West of the region’s capital, Gosford.
The Central Coast-style Lowlux is believed to have been complimentary with his Central Coast Mariners contract, and comes with a UNIT flat brim as well as a year’s supply of Monster energy drinks.
Speaking to the Betoota Advocate today, Bolt says he has been enjoying snapping the Lowlux into third while coming down the the Pacific Motorway’s Gosford exit near Kariong.
“I also enjoy the Bliss n Eso CDs they left in the car, mon” he said.
“I have also developed an addiction to the pokies at the RSL near the club. People say I’m fitting in well”
However, despite the many perks and flexibility of his lucrative new five-figure A-league contract, Usain Bolt has reportedly been warned to not behave like a charismatic Jamaican man in front of female sports reporters, or risk having the Sydney Morning Herald publish lies about him.
“Don’t blush, mate” he says to Betoota Advocate’s Errol Parker, before cutting a few hoops in the car park and fanging it back into town for training.
Just being polite, cos he could easy outrun the lowlux. More like, it’s actually his sitting desk.
