BBC News - Jordan Sinnott: Murder arrests over Matlock Town footballer's death

[theo_luddite]

Seem to have backed off on the supposed involvement in the 2 mass brawls that were apparently going on. Wrong place, wrong time then some brave man kicks him in the head?

Seen on twitter they are trying to get a no.25 shirt from all league and non league clubs with his name on it, to then auction for sport relief.
It's got a few of the current and ex-town players involved....Jon Stead, Windass, Crooks, Allinson etc.
Seems to be going well. Quite a lot so far.
It's a good idea. Let's try and get a small positive from something so horrible.

Shep- The way I read it is that the shirts donated will go to Sports relief, they won't be auctioned off but sent to teams around the world who can't afford the kits. That way the name of Jordan Sinnott and the story of his life will be told the world over. I notice that's shirts are being sent to Danny Ward at Cardiff City as well, top man..great effort.

If you take a look at @JordanShirts on twitter, you can see the amount of clubs donating shirts... league, non-league alike. Amazing.

The trial started today...…

A footballer was killed after he agreed the man who attacked him was "fat and ginger", a court heard.

Jordan Sinnott, 25, died after being punched to the ground during a night out in Retford, Nottinghamshire, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

Prosecutors said Kai Denovan, 22, who denies manslaughter, did not strike the fatal blow on 25 January, but did "drive" the attack on Mr Sinnott.
Another man has already admitted Mr Sinnott's manslaughter.

The court was told Mr Sinnott, who played for Matlock Town, and two friends first came across Mr Denovan, of Collins Walk in Retford, and his group in The Vine Pub.

The prosecution said they believed Mr Denovan complained Mr Sinnott was a "good looking lad" whereas he was "fat and ginger".
Prosecutor Michael Auty QC explained that when Mr Sinnott agreed, believing Mr Denovan was being self-deprecating, the defendant "flew into a rage" and punched him in the face.

They described how the two groups had a scuffle and Mr Sinnott's group left. But Mr Denovan and his friends followed to "exact retribution", Mr Auty said.

When they caught up with the group in Market Place, Mr Sinnott apologised but Mr Denovan punched him again, the court was told.
He was pushed off but Mr Denovan's friend Cameron Matthews, 21, carried on the attack and delivered a blow which knocked Mr Sinnott to the ground.

He never got back up and died later from "severe brain injuries", Mr Auty said.

Matthews, of Denman Close in Retford, has already pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Sean Nicholson 22, of Beechways, Retford, who was also present, has admitted affray.

As well as denying manslaughter, Mr Denovan pleads not guilty to common assault and affray.

The trial continues.

[Lord Snooty]

Denovan found guilty of manslaughter.
Other two, one of manslaughter already admitted guilty and one guilty of affray.
All three to be sentenced on Friday.
