Colin’s funeral will be at 11.00 on Wednesday 29th June at Penmount Crematorium followed by a gathering in Colin’s memory at Penryn Rugby Club.
Colin “Knocker” Kneebone
It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of Colin Kneebone.
Always known as Knocker, Penryn born Colin was a player of truly exceptional talent who played for Penryn and Cornwall in the mid 60s and into the early 70s (pictured right with team mate John ‘Cheyenne’ Blackburn). A strong and athletic second row Colin played with outstanding physical force but also with tremendous flare. Many will remember his trademark runs, ball held high in one hand.
Colin was a key member of the Cornwall team that played Lancashire in the 1969 County Championship Final.
A powerful and skilful player on the field, Colin was a person of rare charm and charisma off it. A true gentleman who always had time for everyone.
On behalf of all at Penryn Rugby Club, our heartfelt condolences to Colin’s wife Angela and their children Sarah and Treve and families.
RIP Knocker - you will be sadly missed.
