Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
As a batsman, Knott took some time to blossom but thereafter he went on to make 5 Test hundreds. Both styles suited him, attack or defense and he went along with the situation. The ease with which he kept wickets on the most difficult of tracks earned him plenty of admirers. His International career went on a down-slide after he joined the World Series of Cricket but ended his career in style with a fifty in his last innings at the Oval in the Ashes Test. He also had the curious tendency to warm his hands with hot water before putting on the gloves for keeping.
Knott was inducted into the ICC hall of fame in 2009.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In the ten years up to the Packer-split in 1977, Alan Knott played in 89 of England's 93 Tests - nearly 20 more than any other Englishman - and hardly missed a chance that anyone remembers. Yet to see his wicketkeeping at its most spectacular, you had to catch him standing up to Derek Underwood on a rain-affected pitch for Kent in county cricket. Underwood, left-hand, whose stock ball was about the pace of Shane Warne's flipper, habitually bowled even quicker when a crusting pitch not only added to his spin but could produce a variation of two feet or more in bounce. Most of the time, despite the obvious problems, Knott would take the ball so nimbly he might have been keeping wicket in the indoor nets. As a batsman he learned to put a high price on his wicket, and in only his fourth Test, at Georgetown in 1967-68, he made 73 not out in four hours and helped Colin Cowdrey save the series. He could attack or defend with equal skill as the position of the match demanded: with five Test hundreds to his name, he was a genuine all rounder. Never one to push himself, in or out of cricket company, he was always nevertheless among the best-liked players in the game.
