He has mentored Andrew Johns, provided guidance to Mitchell Pearce, and was a foundation coaching director at the Newcastle Knights.
He had a hand in bringing some of the Knights' greatest players and coaches to the club, and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Newcastle Knights and the NRL.
But if you don't know Allan Bell's name, it's because that's the way he wants it.
Allan Bell has been the right-hand man for legendary Knights coaches and players, and in a wide-ranging interview more than a year in the making, he reveals this week his inside view of some of the Knights' most historic moments.
Bell joins Toohey's News: The Podcast host Barry Toohey for the first time to look back on the club's history and his role in shaping it.
