David Clayton · 1 · 1d ago One of my favourites from the post prem / pre Chansiri era
John Evans · 1 · 1d ago And mine too, not the most skilful but gave his all every game
Signed from Plymouth in the aftermath of Milan Mandaric’s takeover, Johnson initially struggled as being part of a new central partnership with a fellow signing took time
A tactical switch to left back by Gary Megson in September 2011 ignited Johnson’s Hillsborough career with fans taking to him
The Beast of Benin had a goals to game ratio better than some strikers mainly due to his size and threat at set pieces
Injuries saw his opportunities become fewer but he signed off with a goal in a 6-0 win against Leeds before joining Coventry and having stints at Eastleigh and Dover
Absolute beast that promotion season. Heart like lion always gave his all
