Johnson

David Edward Johnson (23 October 1951 – 23 November 2022) was an English professional footballer and manager. He played as a "battling, play-linking forward". In six seasons with Liverpool, from 1976 to 1982, his wins included four Football League First Division titles, two European Cup finals, one UEFA Super Cup final and one Football League Cup final. He was selected for the 1979–80 First Division PFA Team of the Year, when he scored 27 of 55 goals shared with strike partner, Kenny Dalglish. Johnson is one of only two players to score playing for both Everton and Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. With Ipswich Town, he won the 1972–73 Texaco Cup and never finished lower than sixth in the top division in his four Ipswich seasons. He was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in 2016. Johnson later had spells with Barnsley, Manchester City, Tulsa Roughnecks, Preston North End, Barrow (as player manager) and Naxxar Lions. He has a disputed tally of at least five goals in his eight England national team games, for whom he never played in a losing team. He played for England at UEFA Euro 1980.
