Usain Bolt just made a wonderful gesture for former Chelsea and Milan superstar Andriy Shevchenko at Soccer Aid

This was absolute class from Usain Bolt

The stars have come out to play at West Ham United's London Stadium for the 2022 edition of the annual Soccer Aid charity match.

The game brings celebrities from showbiz and beyond, throwing them onto the pitch alongside some of the biggest names to haver ever played the game, all in aid of worldwide charity UNICEF.

Captaining this year's England side is One Direction star Liam Payne, who's overseeing an all-star XI containing former footballing legends Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Joe Cole and David James, as well as comedian Alex Brooker and reality star Mark Wright.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who briefly played alongside former Cardiff City star Ross McCormack for Australian side Central Coast Mariners, was skipper of the Rest of the World side, which included the likes of Cafu and Patrice Evra.

But it was Andriy Shevchenko who took the spotlight ahead of kick-off, as Bolt handed the ex-Chelsea star his captain's armband, adorned with blue and yellow colours, in a heart-warming gesture to acknowledge the ongoing war in the former striker's homeland.

Shevchenko scored 48 goals in 111 games for his country, and was head coach when his team bowed out of Euro 2020 at the hands of England last summer.

The gesture from Bolt clearly left the 45-year-old a little emotional as he looked as though he was struggling to fight back the tears, before embracing the Jamaican and pointing to the armband.
