If Harry Arter ever gets fed up of football, he’s got a career as a ticket tout on the cards.

The Bournemouth and Republic of Ireland midfielder found himself with seven spare tickets ahead of the Cherries’ trip to Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.

Being a sound fella, Arter put the call out on Twitter for any supporters who wanted them to get in contact.

And the 25-year-old was good enough to chat to the fans as he took in his pre-match breakfast and explained where everyone could collect the freebies.

We somehow can’t imagine the players from any of the so-called bigger Premier League clubs being so thoughtful as to go through this kind of trouble for fans.

A 5-1 loss wouldn’t have been the most pleasant of viewing experiences for the travelling fans but we’re sure they appreciated the gesture.
