PROFILE
One of the small band of players to have played for both Liverpool and Everton the England
centre forward blended power and precision, his fierce shooting complemented by some deft
touches.
His aerial menace was massive and after scoring for Everton on his debuts in the
Central League, Football League, FA Cup and European Cup he joined Ipswich in 1972 before
Bob Paisley paid a then Liverpool record fee of 200,000 pounds to bring him to Anfield for
the launch of the 1976-77 campaign.
He won a title medal in his first season at the club and was a member of the 15 man
squad that won the Championship again so brilliantly in 1978-79. Johnson scored 16 goals
in 30 appearances as Liverpool set a new 68-point record under the former
two-points-for-a-win system and a record low of only 16 goals conceded in their 42
matches.
Johnson, who shares with Peter Beardsley the distinction of scoring winning derby
goals for both Merseyside clubs, collected four Championship medals and one European Cup
winner's medal with Liverpool before re-joining Everton for 100,000 pounds in 1982. He
later played for Manchester City, Tulsa Roughnecks and Preston. Total LFC club games/goals
