MY MEMORIES of Jordan Sinnott are still so fresh, I wouldn’t even class them as memories.

I’ve kept in constant contact with him since he left Halifax, he’s my mate, so it’s hard to accept that he’s gone.

I was only speaking to him last week because I’ve got my 30th coming up and he’d booked to come and stay with his missus and come and be a part of it.

It’s so hard to get your head round it. I’ve never lost a friend before and he definitely is, and he always will be, classed as a friend.

It’s hard for it to sink in. He was so bubbly, I don’t think I ever saw him in a bad mood.

He was always very chirpy, laid back and probably lazy at times.

He probably played at this level because he had that lazy mentality.

But his ability was second to none, the way he could strike a ball, and deliver quality, he was just unbelievable.

But forget football, he was just a great lad.

It’s an honour to have called him a friend, and he’ll be a big loss to everyone.

You can see the amount of people coming out and saying the same things about him, not everyone’s wrong.

But you’ve got to try and turn a negative into a positive and I think what’s nice to see is the football world has shown it’s togetherness in a time when a lot of negativity has been shown.

He’d definitely be proud of that.

He’ll be laughing his head off upstairs looking down at what people are doing, he’d be made up.

The win on Tuesday was for him, 100 per cent.

I know how much of a tough time it is for his close friends, his family and his girlfriend.

He’ll be looking down and be pleased at what people have remembered of him.

But it’s a life taken far too early.
