Now we all know that when a speedway rider falls off a bicycle then it actually means that they were riding a moto-x bike Here's a new one though: Scunthorpe manager Alan Knill suffers squirrel accidentManager Alan Knill says Scunthorpe's difficult start to the season has been put into perspective after he almost suffered serious injury when his bicycle collided with a squirrel The Irons have lost their last six matches and are bottom of League One. "I got hit by a squirrel. I went over the top of my bike and landed on my head, shoulder and neck," Knill told BBC Radio Humberside. "I saw it run into the road but couldn't do anything about it and it just hit my wheel and stuck in my wheel and hit my brakes. "For a minute, I thought I might have been in trouble because I landed on my head. Then, all of a sudden, I thought: 'I'm not, I'm alive!'" A witness called an ambulance but Knill escaped with cuts and bruises. He added: "Fortunately my collar bone is OK but I am pretty bruised. I could be dead and it's so stupid. I'm not and you have to put things into perspective." Discussing his side's predicament, Knill added: "The situation we're in at the moment, I don't cherish, but there are worse situations."
Going for the sympathy vote, perhaps Mick Horton should get his bike out! Oh, and no jokes about his brother Juan Knill, they've all been done.
