career
Associations until 1960
With the mediation of his classmate at the vocational school, Max Morlock , “Adi” Knoll found her way from TSV St. Johannis to the youth department of 1. FC Nürnberg in 1941. The technically well-versed defensive player, strong in duels and headers, made his debut in the war years under coach Hans Schmidt in the first of the "Club" and has played 18 games in the Gauliga Bayern . In the 1942/43 season he was part of the club team, which won the championship in Gau Nordbayern with 40: 0 points and thus qualified for the finals for the German championship. On May 2, 1943 Knoll played his first game in the final round, but lost with his teammates Willi Billmann , Clemens Wientjes , Robert Gebhardt , Max Morlock and Helmut Herbolsheimer with 1: 3 goals against VfR Mannheim.
After a brief interlude at 1. FC Bamberg in the Bavarian regional league at the end of 1945 / beginning of 1946, he won the championship in the Oberliga Süd with 1. FC Nuremberg in 1947 and 1948 . In the first replayed German championship after the Second World War, 1948, Nuremberg prevailed in the final on August 8 in front of 75,000 spectators in Cologne with 2-1 goals against the Walter-Elf from 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Knoll formed the defenders pair with Hans Uebelein in the seventh championship win of the Franks. When, in 1950, it was Gunther Baumann and not he who won the lease for the clubhouse, Knoll left the club angrily and joined local rivals SpVgg Fürth.
With the Kleeblatt-Elf it was enough to runner-up in the south in 1950/51 and to make it to the final round of the German championship. In all six group games he defended alongside Herbert Erhardt for the green-whites from Ronhof. After three rounds with 87 league appearances for Fürth, the trained mechanic in the Oberliga West signed a new contract with Schwarz-Weiß Essen for the round in 1953/54. For the team from the Uhlenkrugstadion he was active for two rounds and returned to his Franconian homeland in the summer of 1955, after 53 further league appearances, and from the round in 1955/56 he laced his football boots for 1. FC Nuremberg again. Under trainer Franz Binder he became the defense chief of the "Club" and played on the middle runner position. The 33-year-old veteran and Max Morlock led the Noris team to the championship in southern Germany in the 1956/57 season . In the year of the soccer world championship 1958 in Sweden, it was enough for the runner-up and the renewed entry into the finals. In total, Knoll played 15 games in the finals between 1943 and 1958. In the round of 1958/59 Ferdinand Wenauer took over his role of defense organizer and Knoll asked after 369 games for the "club" to terminate his contract.
From October 1958 he exercised the position of player-coach at ESV Ingolstadt in the Bayernliga group south. In the 1959/60 season he was on the same mission at 1. FC Passau .
Selection player, 1948 to 1952
The defender, who was praised for his "clear, long-lasting tee shot, his positional play, his quick start to the opponent", was denied the appointment to the A national team, but at the first official game of the B national team of the DFB on April 14, 1951 in Karlsruhe against Switzerland, he stood next to Erich Retter from VfB Stuttgart in the German defense. He represented the colors of the regional association of southern Germany in several games. On October 17, 1948, he made his first representative game against Northern Germany, before his selection considerations ended with the appeal on April 20, 1952 in the game against Berlin after seven missions. Under national coach Sepp Herberger , he took part in the first post-war inspection course for the formation of the national team in Duisburg from November 14 to 19, 1949.
