Footballer Jordan Sinnott saves seven lives following his tragic death

Soldiers and other burns victims are also benefiting from skin grafts created after his donation.

Jordan's brother Tom said: “He loved giving and even after he’s passed he managed to do that.

“At least his heart is still beating.”

Jordan, 25, died at Sheffield’s Northern General Hospital after being found in Market Place, Retford, on January 25 with a suspected fractured skull.

The football community in South Yorkshire got together to pay tribute to the former Chesterfield player, with Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United and Doncaster Rovers all among those to donate shirts with ‘Sinnott 25’ on the back.

Jordan’s school friend and Sheffield Wednesday player Josh Windass also dedicated his debut goal for the Owls to his late friend.

And Rotherham United wore black armbands in respect for Sinnott, who was also close friends with Millers player Matt Crooks.

Following Jordan’s death, Cameron Matthews, 21, of Denman Close, Retford, and Kai Denovan, 22, of Collins Walk, Retford, were charged with manslaughter.

They remain in custody and are due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court on May 22.

Sean Nicholson, 21, of Beechways, Retford, has pleaded guilty to affray.

He will be sentenced when the case is complete.

Jordan played for Matlock Town. Alfreton and Chesterfield were among the clubs he played for previously.
