NationalityEnglish
Weight85 kg
Height1.83 m
PositionDefender/Centre back

Johnson had the misfortune to suffer a neck injury in only the second game of the 2000-01 campaign and he spent most of the remainder of the season trying to recover full fitness.

The problem was eventually diagnosed as a slipped disc but although he made a brief come-back in December it was not until the closing stages of the season that he seemed to finally shake it off.

Currently the longest-serving player at Kenilworth Road, Johnson has been a rock in the centre of defence in recent seasons and a shining example to the younger players.

Quick, strong in the tackle and difficult to pass he was sorely missed by the Hatters and they struggled all season in his absence.

Initially released at the end of the 2001-02 season, Johnson subsequently signed a new contract that also included coaching duties.
