THE MUM of a footballer who was killed while on a night out has died after being diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n

Jordan Sinnott died in January 2020 aged 25 after being attacked by three drunk and violent thugs in Retford, Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Just a week after Sinnott\u2019s funeral, his partner Kelly found out she was 12 weeks pregnant with their daughter Maisie.<\/p>\n

And now in another tragedy for the family, his mum Melanie Tait has died after a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

Melanie had spent her final years setting up a charity in honor of her son – and did a sponsored sky dive in his honor earlier this year.<\/p>\n

In a post on Facebook on Sunday the trust said: "It's with the heaviest of hearts we would like to share the devastating news that yesterday after a long fight with cancer, our beautiful Melanie has gained her wings.<\/p>\n

"We are utterly heartbroken.<\/p>\n

"Give Jord a big cuddle from us Mel, we love you both unconditionally."<\/p>\n

On July 31, 2020, Denovan, 22, and Matthews, 21, were jailed for 11 years and eight years and three months respectively after being convicted of manslaughter at Nottingham Crown Court.<\/p>\n

Jordan had proposed to Kelly at Christmas just four weeks before his death and had gone out with her and friends in the market town to celebrate.<\/p>\n

In his last moments with Kelly, he performed his favourite song Sweet Caroline on the karaoke.<\/p>\n

Jordan and two friends later went drinking in nearby pubs as Kelly went home at about midnight.<\/p>\n

CCTV showed Denovan and Matthews following the pals into The Vine pub at about 1.40am, with prosecutors describing them as a "pack hunting down and exacting retribution".<\/p>\n

The brute told Jordan he was a "good-looking lad" and would have no trouble "pulling girls" \u2014 unlike him, who was "fat and ginger".<\/p>\n

Falsely believing he was engaging in jovial banter, Jordan replied: "Yes I can see that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court heard Denovan's comment was a "deliberate honey trap" to spark a fight.<\/p>\n

Denovan then "flew immediately into a rage" and punched Jordan twice in the face before Jordan and his friends managed to leave the pub.<\/p>\n

The thugs then followed them to a nearby takeaway and restarted their attack.<\/p>\n

Denovan punched Jordan again and Matthews then hit him "two or three times" causing the footballer to hit his head on the pavement as he fell backwards to the ground.<\/p>\n

Jordan was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead with his family at his side at around 6pm on Saturday, January 25.<\/p>\n

Paying tribute at the time, Jordan's parents, former Bradford City footballer Lee Sinnott and Mel said: "We\u2019ve lost a son, a brother, a fianc\u00e9, a grandson, uncle, nephew, cousin, a true friend to so many.\u00a0<\/p>\n
