Worrell Whitehurst who was jailed for six years for stabbing former Coventry City defender Calum Davenport has had his sentence cut by eighteen months.
Mr Worrell, the financee of Davenport's sister, successfully appealed against his sentence for grevious bodily harm and unlawful wounding and had it reduced to four and a half years.
Davenport who came up through the City ranks before being sold to Spurs in 2004 for £1.1m to appease City's bankers is currently at Wootton Blue Cross.
