Seven Burning Questions About The Squirrel Attack On Scunthorpe Manager Alan Knill

The whole story is here. These are the big questions from what I can gauge:

1. There's a football manager who cycles?
2. There's a squirrel that's slow enough to get close to the wheels of a bike?
3. How fast was he cycling? He must have really slammed on the brakes to be thrown over the handlebars?
4. Was this a kamikaze squirrel?
5. Did he really say 'I got hit by a squirrel'?
6. Did he not even slightly see the squirrel approaching? Squirrels are pretty obvious on the eye.
7. I mean, really, did he say 'I got hit by a squirrel'?
