A former Sheffield United and Harrogate Town defender has won £1 million on the lottery.
Footage of former Sheffield United footballer Terry Kennedy has emerged online after he won £1 million on the lottery.
The 28-year-old became a viral sensation after his stunned response to lottery winnings emerged online.
With the phone on loudspeaker, Kennedy listens to the lottery spokesperson as they announce the footballer’s winnings amount to £1 million.
Stunned by the life-changing announcement, Kennedy leans back in his chair in amazement whilst his coworkers celebrate by screaming and shouting.
The footballer played for Sheffield United as a youth before playing as part of Cambridge United, Alfreton, Harrogate Town teams before finally playing for Guiseley in 2018.
Guiseley AFC is locally known as a family-friendly football club playing in the Vanarama National League North, based in the Leeds and Bradford areas. The ex-United player spent a number of months playing for the team before retiring from the sport.
The popular member of the team was often described as the ‘Ginger John Terry’ by former Guiseley coach Chris Morgan Kennedy.
According to reports, the footballer departed from Guiseley AFC in October 2018 with “mutual consent due to work and personal commitments“.
The viral video of the former player finding his seven-figure win has appeared online, but the former Sheffield United footballer has not personally taken to social media to confirm the winning.

Winning the lottery is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.
According to reports, you are five times more likely to be struck by lightning, 64 times more likely to be crushed by a meteorite and 4,000 times more likely to win an Oscar than you are to win a jackpot.
Chances of winning the lottery are very slim, and whilst Kennedy didn’t manage to bag the jackpot win, the sum will still be a life changing amount to Kennedy.
