Alan Knill
Eddie May signed him on loan in 1993 as he was good in the air
Legendary kit man Harry Parsons disagreed 'Douglas Bader was good in the air too but he was a sh1t footballer just like Knill'
I really hope this tale is true as Knill was sh1t
Other players who we have fond memories of but really weren't that good
Jason Perry
Nicky Richardson
Steve Lynex
I always liked Steve White but he wasn't much cop in reality.
I am one of those who is on the 'wrong' side of the McPhail divide, clever player good technical ability but he has been so over hyped since he stopped playing for us. Yes he was a good championship midfielder but I have seen some people say (on here) he is the best player they have seen at Cardiff and have even seen some put him into Cardiff all-time-X11 teams, I think that's a joke but football is all about opinions I guess!
Although, didn't Alan Knill win one cap for Wales against the Netherlands and played Marco Van Basten out of the game ?Originally Posted by binman
Considering his limited abilities, Knill has had an impressive career. 564 Football League appearances with Halifax, Swansea, Bury, Cardiff, Rotherham and Scunny, then manager at Rotherham, Scunny, Bury and Torquay, and currently a Premier League assistant manager at Sheffield United.
Perry and Richardson did good jobs for us.
Steve Lynex was absolutely useless. I doubt anyone who saw him play for us would say anything else.
