that's sad - before Rushie came along he was brilliant alongside Kenny - probably under-rated later because of Rush's incredible stats but he must have won everything bar the FA Cup with us.

Played for the blueschite too - without being hated

He lived near me for a while although I never saw him. The rumour was that if you went to his house and cut his grass, he would get you tickets for the next home game. I don’t think this was actually true though

RIP

Took me a long time to warm to him when he first arrived because he'd played for Ipswich who were our main rivals for a while. But he was great. RIP.

Yeah, it did feel weird.  Him being a scouser as well.  
 

The pass to Heighway.

The cross to Kennedy.

Almost didn't recognize him without his usual black eye.

He'd had open heart surgery and was diagnosed with throat cancer a few years back.

71 is no age.

I managed to blag a couple of corporate tickets in the old Main Stand for the Blackburn FA Cup game in 2015. Johnson was doing his after dinner routine in the lounge. Seemed like a really nice fella.

The 80-81 season was when I really got obsessed with the reds. He played in one of the charity matches at Anfield about 10 or 15 years ago I think and I was there. Great player, great muzzy.

We've got a photo of him with my uncle in their primary school football team in like 1960 or something.

My uncle died young in 1989 and this reminds me I miss him as well as being sad about the Doc.
