Sadly yes. Joe was one of the ex Spurs players to manage us ..Dave McKay and Cyrille Knowles  ( Head coach ) were two others .

Mckay and Kinnear were like good cop,bad cop when at Rovers.
One was an absolute gentleman,the other swore and shouted like a trooper.
RIP Joe.

Great snippet on Kitch’s FB page.
Kinnear had signed 2 brothers for Wimbledon and The S*n asked their names - JK said Krays. A few days later a letter arrived from Broadmoor thanking him for the opportunity but Ronnie and Reggie would love to take up but would have to decline as they were otherwise detained. They would be however following the results going forward. JK sent a load of training kit to them and got a photo back with them wearing it in the gym
RIP Joe

According to paper when Joe was at Donny he returned to pre season to find Billy Bremner sat in his seat in his office . He'd been replaced.Least Terry would let them know.

I remember our lass pulling a Christmas cracker and saying there's a Joe Kinnear.
