Cody Fisher, who played for Stratford Town FC, was stabbed on the dancefloor of the Crane nightclub in Birmingham not long before midnight on 26 December. Two people remain in custody, charged with his murder.
He said:"They're his mates. He [Cody] was the life and soul of the party. All of the stuff he's done outweighs what has happened.""We idolised him. As his uncle, my wife and kids idolised Cody, we loved him to bits," he said.
"He's just such a lovely, lovely character and a lovely kid - and to be taken away from us is just so unfair. He'd be looking down now and be so happy and proud and I think this could have been the best tribute that could have happened."The referee stopped the game between Stratford FC and Kings Langley for a minute of applause
Before Saturday's game, around 50 children from St Gregory's Catholic Primary School - where Cody coached football - formed a guard of honour on the pitch before a minute's silence. Twenty-three minutes into the game, to mark Cody's age, players paused for a one-minute round of applause. Mrs Fisher said:"To have inspired so many people at such a young age, the love for him, as his mother, is just the most special... it's just going to be my comfort. I don't know how I get on from here or move on. As I say, my life sentence has started now. It will never be easy, never, ever, ever."Kami Carpenter, 21, and Remy Gordon, 22 are due to stand trial in July.
