IT is an act of exuberance worthy of his hell-raising namesake.

Richard Harris has blown his Terry's redundancy money - on a ten-year York City season ticket.

You have to admire his priorities. The 33-year-old has not found another job but considers that a mere trifle compared with guaranteeing football security until 2015.

His investment is a huge vote of confidence in the players and the board at a moment when the Minstermen's destiny is far from certain.

We hope Richard's extraordinary gesture pays off. Who knows - in ten years' time he could be watching City in the Champions League.
