SOCCER AID fans have attacked Usain Bolt over his “embarrassing” shirt number – his world record 9.58.
The Olympic legend is set to start in the world squad for the annual charity event at Wembley this evening.

Bolt is widely known for holding the 100m world record in a fast time of 9.58 seconds.
And fans couldn’t believe the Jamaican star was using the recording time off as his shirt number.
One said: “He’s totally accepting the s***.”
Another agreed: “Bolt is getting p***ed on.”
A third found the choice of number frightening, tweeting: “The 9.58 on the Bolts jersey is scary now.”
Bolt is one of the greatest athletes in the history of sport – some even consider him the greatest of all time.
And for good reason, as Bolt had an impressive career that saw him break records in the 100m and 200m events and win an impressive eight Olympic gold medals.
But Bolt has always been passionate about football, before he wanted to play for Manchester United.

In 2018, he began training with Norwegian team Stromsgodset – later going on trial with the Central Coast Mariners in Australia.
He scored twice in a friendly, prompting Maltese side Valletta to offer him a two-year contract.
Bolt refused, signing a deal with the Mariners – but it only lasted eight weeks.
In 2023, Bolt captained the World XI and scored the opening goal.
It was a special moment for the fastest man of all time, who played in his fifth Soccer Aid.
The 2024 edition of the event will be his sixth participation – he will captain the team and play as a winger.
