FALSE MEMORY?
#1
Here is a genuine question about the club's history which I can't be bother to research but to which I'd like to know the answer.

Yesterday watching Sheffield United I saw Alan Knill looming over Chris Wilder (just as almost everyone looms over him!) and remembered Knill as our Assitant Manager. I know he was a centre back who played about 3 million games for Rotherham, and I know he did manage clubs like Bury ....... but my memory keeps insisting that he had to take us over as Caretaker for a Christmas period. My memory insists he won four games out of four, all 1-0. Is my brain simply scrambled? Is there any truth in this at all?

Knill has always fascinated me because he always looks kind of vague and not really with it, and yet he clearly must be a pretty sharp chap.

He was assistant to Lee Richardson and definitely took over as caretaker manager when he got the push. Not sure how many games he won but it wasn't long before happy John came in.

I think Alan Knill did take charge for a few games when Lee Richardson wasn't well or had an operation or something.

He did a good job as Bury manager.
