Lucky escape for Scunthorpe boss
SCUNTHORPE manager Alan Knill said his side’s tough start to the season was put into perspective when he escaped serious injury after a squirrel-related cycling accident. Knill was on his bike on Monday when he collided with a squirrel. The animal got caught up in his wheel spokes and sent the manager flying over his handlebars.
“It was quite serious at the time, I was flying through the air,” said Knill, who escaped with just cuts and bruises. “An ambulance was called and everything – I could have died.”
