It should have been no match for Sinclair, renowned for his hard tackling as an old-school defender with spells at Chelsea, Leicester and Burnley.

But the 57-year-old ended up on the deck after slipping when he threw his punch.

A video of the moment was captured as someone behind the camera could not help but crease with laughter.

Canoville replied: “To [sic] much power Frank – a knockout” and Cole added some laughing emojis.
