Tommy Johnson was born on 15th January 1971 in Newcastle, England.

Johnson began his career as a trainee at Notts County, helping the Magpies reach the top flight in the early 90s, before moving to Derby County and then Aston Villa - both in £1m+ moves.

In 1997 he joined Scottish giants Celtic for £2.3m, but saw his career at the Hoops cut short by injury.

He did though enjoy some success at Celtic Park, which included scoring the goal which won the 2000/01 Scottish Premier League title - as the Bhoys won the Scottish domestic treble.

And he netted in the 2000 CIS Insurance Cup final win over Aberdeen.

During his time at Celtic, Johnson was briefly loaned out to Everton 1999.

Next stop was Sheffield Wednesday for Johnson when his time at Celtic Park came to an end. He then moved on to Kilmarnock before joining Gillingham in December 2001.

Johnson was at Gillingham for over two seasons before joining Sheffield United. He only made one appearance at the club before moving on to Scunthorpe United. Injuries plagued his career with The Iron which caused some supporters to question if he was really a professional footballer and not just someone in it for the money!

During his time at Scunthorpe United he was loaned out to Tamworth, who he later joined, but was released at the start of the 2006/07 season.

On 10 September 2006 he signed for Polymac Services Midland Football Alliance club Rocester^[1].
