Paul McKnight (born 8 February 1977 in Belfast) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays for Ards.
A fortnight later he did the same against Ayr United, his last minute stunner creating a pitch invasion at Somerset Park.
He missed all but four Scottish Premier League games through injury, and the following season was injured for large chunks and was released in the summer of 2002.
In August 2009 he signed for Championship 1 side Ards, playing a handful of games before slipping into junior football.
He returned to Ards in August 2010 as the club's assistant manager, before signing again as a player in September 2010.
