Career
A ruckman from South Bendigo, Knight wasn"t selected in Collingwood"s 1935 premiership team despite playing in the Preliminary Final. Disappointment followed in 1937 when a six-week suspension for striking Ron Baggott of Melbourne in the Prelim cost him another Grand Final place but he would appear in the next two season"s premiership deciders. Knight transferred to Street Kilda in 1941 as captain-coach but the club struggled and although he stayed on for another season, it was as a player only.
