Biography
Athletic, snowy-haired fullback (originally from Dapto) played for St George in the 1979 grand final victory over C’bury. An exciting attacking player, and a frequent try-scorer from fullback, Johnson had a long career with the Dragons before joining Easts in the mid-1980s. He played for Warrington in 1985 and, returning to England after his Sydney career finished, took over as coach of Warrington in 1990.

In 1980 Johnson was the Dally M Fullback of the year.

Great player on his day he was equal to any fullback ever to play but I will admit sometimes he looked disinterested

Very underrated player in an era of top fullbacks, as good as any of them I.M.O. .
