The
25-year-old, son of Watford FA Cup finalist and former Altrincham, Bradford
Park Avenue, Farsley Celtic, Gainsborough Trinity and Port Vale manager Lee
Sinnott, passed away last Saturday night following a serious assault in Retford
town centre on Friday evening.
Tributes
flooded in for the popular player who started out at Huddersfield and went on
to play for Altrincham, Bury, Chesterfield and FC Halifax Town before joining
Matlock from Alfreton Town in August.
Matlock’s
league fixture at Mickleover Sports was postponed before the competition later
offered its condolences to his family, friends and team-mates.
Alfreton’s
National League North match at home to Gateshead was also postponed last
Saturday after they learnt that their former player had been seriously hurt and
was on a life support machine at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital.
Nottinghamshire
Police have launched a murder investigation and are appealing for witnesses as
a 27-year-old man remained in police custody on Saturday night. |
