YORK City mascot Yorkie is on the ball when it comes to saving the Minstermen.

To kick-start the launch of the Save City campaign sports manufacturers Diadora donated an over-sized football to the club.

Yorkie has since been seen getting his kicks with the size ten ball at recent home games as he implores the home faithful to rally to the cause and save the club.

He's pictured here with Diadora's York shop manager Adam Hacking.
