The plane -- a single-engined Piper Malibu -- came down in the Channel in January 2019, killing the 28-year-old striker and the 59-year-old pilot David Ibbotson as they returned from France to Wales.
The plane's operator, David Henderson, is standing trial at Cardiff Crown Court in Wales, accused of endangering the safety of the plane.
The plane's owner, Fay Keely, said she bought the plane on Henderson's advice and allowed him to operate it and choose pilots.
