One way or another, it was probably a quick visit...
Sprinting legend Usain Bolt was a surprise figure on the touchline at Carlisle United's under-18 game on Saturday morning.
The Jamaican star was at Creighton to watch the Blues' academy team take on Stockport County.
🚨 Look who was at Creighton this morning 👀

After our 3-2 victory over Stockport County, the Under-18s were lucky enough to meet Usain Bolt who was in attendance.
A great day for the lads 👊#cufc pic.twitter.com/ih3jnR5ihz
Bolt, the men's 100m and 200m world record holder, was watching the visiting side because Che Gardner, son of Bolt's close friend Ricardo, was involved in the Stockport side.
The 37-year-old has often checked out the young player's progress in academy games elsewhere, having visited Burnley earlier this week.
Bolt made time for photos with the young players after the game, which Carlisle won 3-2.
