Neville Kneville

Horrible news. Was always a poster I enjoyed following. Straight to the point and confident in what he was saying. So young to go, a real shame.

Thoughts are with his family. Let's hope the team gives him a proper send off by winning it all this season.
 
All this time on here, and I had no idea he was Tony!! Have known him since our days of going in The Phoenix, Jilly's and UMIST rock clubs.

He was a superb guitarist going right back to Fireclown and up to his Hellhounds band. His often confrontational (passionate) style of posting here was the total opposite of his real personality, where he was the most quiet and modest guy you could meet.

R.I.P mate.

Edit: The amount of posts on here, and also the Facebook pages of all the mentioned clubs above speaks volumes for him.

Tony could be fierce and passionate in face to face debates, especially in defence of a young player he had high hopes for
 
I always found Neville Knevilles posts interesting reading, they stood out from most other peoples.
I wondered why he had stopped posting. Of course, the terribly sad news that he had passed away was the reason.
He was obviously a well liked and talented person and those who knew him will testify to that, (and have done), I am sure.
I would like to think that his spirit is somewhere with City players who are no longer with us.

Ah - that’s terrible news.

NK was a well liked and respected poster on here with good reason. Hugely passionate about the Club - in particular our academy players, and their path to the first team - a humorous and unstintingly direct writer, who seemed to relish a spirited debate with fellow fans about the club he loved, but also a warm and genuine man.

I never had the opportunity to meet him outside of here, but he was a poster I looked out for - and we’ve had many conversations over the years.

Really sad news - I wish his family all the best at this tough time.

You’ll be missed, pal!
 
Shocked to see this news. Always a feisty poster and I could never change his opinion on anything!....a true blue.

Sad to think I won’t be seeing his name pop up again.

RIP

Can't believe I've only just seen this thread but I'm really saddened to find out about this. That might seem like an empty platitude but I never, ever post on any RIP threads for that very reason. I usually don't feel like I have anything to add other than my condolences.

However, this guy was always one of my favourite members of this forum and I would always read what he had to say. There aren't many on here that I have a lot of time for but his passion for football and our club specifically is something I always found infectious. Whether I agreed with him or not, he was very obviously an intelligent man and his views and sense of humour enriched the forum.

After noticing he'd been on a bit of a hiatus on here, I saw him comment a few months ago and made a point of telling him that it was great to see him back. I'm glad I told him because, amongst all the chest beating and bullish back and forth that you get with football forums, it often gets lost amongst the drama that there are real people on the other side of the screen.

I'm sure it meant very little to him at the time but I'm glad I took the opportunity to explicitly acknowledge him and his views before he left.

Rest in peace. This place won't be the same without you.

Was gutted when I heard this, like a lot on these pages, I didn't know him, but felt I did thru' reading his posts and interacting with him on here. Thanks to @Gingers Dad, I've become acquainted with his music, which is right up my particular music street. If you're up for it, it's well worth a listen, search Tony Dowlers Hellhounds on YouTube, if you like a bit of blues and rock, most of the footage is filmed live so is pretty visceral, but bloody hell Tony could play a guitar! RIP Tony Dowler/Neville Kneville.

Aww fuck, I had no idea he was a guitarist. Just had a flick through YouTube and seen he covered a Million Miles Away by Rory Gallagher. The bloke had taste.

Lovely post mate and I feel exactly the same. I genuinely kind of looked up to him a few years ago as his passion and knowledge for City, and specifically the youth teams, was refreshing to see. He'll be missed.

A big part of the reason I first joined the forum was because of both your posts on the academy forum. Keep up the good work.
 
I miss his posts. We had a couple of opposite views but his way of putting his across always made me laugh. Forum definitely poorer without him.
