Some of you might have heard about this in the news ... the former Chesterfield and Huddersfield player Jordan Sinnott has died at the age of just 25 after suffering a fractured skull after a night out in Retford.

For any of you planning a night out next weekend, just remember to look after yourselves and avoid anyone who's looking for trouble. It only takes one idiot for something tragic to happen

I noticed  on Saturday that both Alfreton Town and Matlock Town's games had been postponed due to  unforeseen circumstances ..On further internet investigation I discovered there had been an unrelated murder in Alfreton on Thursday.This news came as a bit of a shock having grown up in Alfreton and watching Town when The Rams weren't playing.Violent times ! RIP Jordon Sinnott.

I noticed not long after it happened, it's been doing the rounds on social media and it's very saddening.

These types of things shouldn't happen, I know I'm saying the obvious but I am surprised that there's no CCTV etc. I have noticed tweets from the players dad, appealing for witnesses. I hope they catch anyone involved and, they get a serve punishment.

My condolences go to his family, sad to hear another player has passed.

3 people have been arrested, one held longer according to the news. i hope they catch the right people and make them pay for it.

It's those small minority of people looking for trouble, that cause so much unrest in this world. This is awful, Rest in Peace Jordan Sinnott.

RIP  

Tragic in every sense.

When I first heard of it, I thought he had been attack during or after a game.

Rest in Peace Jordan Sinnott

The person(s) that caused his death are nothing more than scumbags.

Rest in Peace Jordan.

Seen it on the new and online, horrible repercussion for such a young player. On a night out too.

He was 26 right? That's no age.

The cause of the attack probably should have been resolved, just idiots looking to be big. Rest in Peace.

Rest in Peace, I hope the incident isn't related to him being a footballer.

RIP

Rest in Peace young man, my thoughts and wishes go out to his loved ones.

RIP Jordan Sinnott 

In response to an appeal by his family, Notts have donated a shirt and will hold a minute's applause on Saturday. While fans of other clubs are still waiting for a response, Notts have reacted quickly and unbureaucratically - top marks.

@Chris it happened on the market square near four banks and a taxi rank, so I'd be amazed if there weren't any CCTV footage. I see the alleged perpetrators have been charged with manslaughter now.

Manslaughter seems a bit of a light charge considering they caused a person to die, sounds unfair that 3 people took one 1 person.

Good touch by teams across the UK paying respect to the young man. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51311320

Rest in Peace Jordan Sinnott.

Yes, it was good to see Notts, Forest and Mansfield joining in this campaign to pay tribute to Jordan Sinnott.

I believe there will be a minutes silence before the game tomorrow too.

Rest in Peace Jordan Sinnott, hope those who took your life get a tough sentence.

It's nice to see the unity from the football clubs paying respect, I hope it goes along way to drumming some sense into people. Things like this shouldn't happen, its very pointless.

Rest in Peace Jordan Sinnott.

Such a shame, rest in peace young man.

A police officer made a statement involved Central News, about a lack of witness due to there being no visible CCTV.

Not sure, if this is true or just them trying to build a better case by getting people to come forward.

His dad also shared some open appeals via Twitter, asking for members of the public to bring justice to Jordan.

I don’t really know the area, but I am pleased it seems the case has been solved.

Rest in Peace Jordan Sinnott.
