Ross County FC joins tribute to tragic player
ROSS County have joined hundreds of UK football clubs in donating a special jersey in memory of a tragic non-league player.
Matlock Town’s Jordan Sinnott (25) was found with a fractured skull in Retford, Nottinghamshire, early on Saturday, January 25 and died that evening in hospital.
Three men have been charged in connection with his death.
Staggies co-managers Stuart Kettlewell and Steven Ferguson were moved to make sure the Dingwall club’s famous blue shirt, with Sinnott 25 printed on the back, will be added to a mass of colours on show at Mr Sinnott’s funeral.
The jerseys will then be donated to Sports Relief, with money raised from their sale going to the charity.
County’s supporters’ liaison officer Kenny MacLennan said: “We’ve all been shocked by the tragic death of Jordan Sinnitt and it is something I’m delighted the club have taken part in. Football should be one big family and it is a fantastic gesture by Ketts and Fergie, as well as everyone else at the club, to do this in his memory.”
