Geoff L. Knott, born in 1920, is a former Rhodesian international lawn bowler. The English Wikipedia article read for this entry says Knott first represented Rhodesia at table tennis before taking up lawn bowls. In 1966 Knott played the pairs with Bill Jackson for Rhodesia at the World Outdoor Bowls Championship at Kyeemagh in New South Wales, where the pair surprised observers by winning their section and reaching the playoffs, then missed a medal by finishing equal fourth in the final group. Knott was the national champion in 1963. By trade Knott worked for the Ministry of Roads and Road Traffic. Club and other details are not stated in that source and remain open.
