'We've lost a real good one,' ex-Man City star Trevor Sinclair pays tribute to Jordan Banks
Video report by Sarah Rogers
Former England and Manchester City star Trevor Sinclair has paid tribute to Jordan Banks, the boy killed after he was struck by lightning, calling his death devastating and a huge loss.
He took part in a charity game to honour the nine year old boy from Blackpool who was a keen fundraiser himself.
Jordan's Father Matt Banks and stepfather Dan Begg led out a team of former footballing stars including Alan Wright who played for Aston Villa and Blackpool and the Bolton manager Ian Evatt.
Match organiser Daz Meehan said he wanted the annual Blue Skies hospital fund event to celebrate Jordan and what he stood for, the trophy has also been renamed after him. At his young age he'd raised money for mental health charities as well as leaving boxes of chocolates on police cars during the first lockdown. Half of the money raised will go to Brian House children's hospice who've been supporting the family.
Jordan who loved football and played for Clifton Rangers Junior Football Club was killed in May during a training session.
