LONDON Usain Bolt has made the startling claim that he fancies a career as a professional footballer once he fulfills his ambitions in athletics. The 24-year-old Jamaican holds the world record for the 100m sprint after clocking 9.58secs in Berlin last year, and Bolt says that when he pushes the record even further with a faster time, he will turn his attention to football. "I have four more good years in me if I train hard," he said. "When I finish I'd like to play football for two years. I always watch those guys and I think I could be a professional footballer." "I'll try that. Maybe I could get into a good side or even an average side." he said. Bolt even has a preferred position should he start a playing career in the beautiful game. "I'm definitely a good player - a defensive or attacking midfielder. Somewhere around there. "First I'm hoping I get to be the one to get to 9.4 seconds because that's where I think the record will probably never be beaten."
