Thomas (Tommy) Johnson (born 15 January 1971 in Gateshead, England) is a football player.
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. Despite seeing his career at the Hoops cut short by injury, he enjoyed some success at Celtic Park, including scoring the goal that won the 2000/01 Scottish Premier League title (as the Bhoys won the Scottish domestic treble), and scoring 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, before joining Kilmarnock and then Gillingham in December 2001. After two seasons at Gillingham, Johnson joined Sheffield United. He only made one appearance at the club before moving on to Scunthorpe United, where he suffered an injury-plagued career, causing 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 September 10, 2006 he signed for Midland Football Alliance club Rocester.[1]
Johnson temporarily re-joined Notts County as part of the coaching staff under the management of Ian McParland on 1 November 2007.[2]
