Before being sentenced at the Old Bailey in London on Wednesday, Ian Mytton had pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Michael Dye.
The 44-year-old Cardiff native died from head injuries after his skull was fractured before a 2012 European Championship qualifier in September.
Judge Stephen Kramer told the court that Mytton’s attack on Dye was“unprovoked” and the force of his punch was “considerable.”
The 41-year-old Mytton, who is from Worcestershire in central England, is set to be released on license after serving half of his three-year sentence.
