Johnston was raised in Australia where he played for Sydney City and Lake McQuarrie before writing to Middlesbrough for a trial.
He joined Liverpool for £575,000 and quickly became a fan's favourite, scoring some great goals. With Liverpool he won the 1st Division Championship in 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986 and 1988, the FA Cup in 1986, the League Cup in 1983 and 1984 and the European Cup in 1984.
Johnston chose not to play for Australia or South Africa and represented England at 'B' and Under-21 levels.
He surprisingly retired in 1988, going back home to Australia but typically returning to comfort the bereaved after Hillsborough.
His multi-faceted career since his retirement, has included designing the Predator boot.
