Watch the moment former Sheffield United and Harrogate Town defender Terry Kennedy scoops £1M lottery win
The 27-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on Monday, was forced to retire early from being a full-time footballer due to injury problems.
Footage of his lottery win was uploaded to social media with Kennedy anxiously clutching his winning ticket while he listens to confirmation, from what appears to a member of lottery staff, over the phone.

The Barnsley-born ex-Blade made his United debut in 2011 before leaving the club for Alfreton Town in 2016. In 2017, he made the switch to Harrogate Town before joining Guiseley a year later.
