Famous sprinter Usain Bolt had to be carried off the field at this year's Soccer Aid event. He recently revealed that he suffered a ruptured Achilles during the game, which left him in immense pain and unable to continue playing. Despite this setback, the event was a success, with over £15 million raised for charity thanks to goals from Joe Cole, Ellen White, Steven Bartlett, Jermain Defoe, Billy Wingrove, and Theo Walcott.
However, Bolt's injury put a slight damper on the otherwise exciting occasion. The world-record holder in the 100m and 200m races was representing the World XI team and was visibly in distress as he lay on the ground in the middle of the second half at Stamford Bridge. It was later revealed through replays that Bolt had attempted to stop Defoe's forward momentum, but unfortunately, this resulted in him pulling up and needing medical assistance.
As a regular participant in the Soccer Aid event, Bolt's injury was a concerning sight for both fans and players alike. He had to be helped off the field by medical staff on a stretcher, but before being taken away, he managed to thank the fans for their support. However, it seems that his road to recovery may be a long one as he shared a photo of his right foot in a protective boot, along with the message, "Raptured [sic] Anchilles but done know we a warrior."
In the game, former England forward Ellen White made history by becoming the first female player to score a goal in Soccer Aid's history. Her first-half equalizer was a pivotal moment and was praised by ex-Tottenham and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas for her skill and determination. He also highlighted Jack Wilshere's exceptional play in the build-up to the goal, stating, "This is what Ellen has done her whole life."
The halftime break also saw Jenas acknowledge the significance of White's goal, calling it a "big moment" for the event. He also humorously pointed out how her teammate Sam Thompson was trying to steal the goal from her at the back post, but White was determined to claim it as her own. Overall, it was a historic moment for Soccer Aid and a testament to the talent and dedication of all the players involved.
