Is that Johnson??....

That 80 - 0 took a lot out of him didn't it??...

He looks the same as when he was playing, to me. Wish he still was.

I must say, you don't see many full backs hit the line these days like Johnno did back in the 80's...

Feeling nostalgic just thinking about some of his best moments....

Either the 80 yarder in the otherwise disappointing Lancs Cup Final in 85, or THAT solo effort in THAT Premiership final in 86 stand out for me.

Yes that team would easily be top 4 material even now.Anyone remember the match at Leeds which resulted in Peter Fox's sacking?If my memory serves me right we put 50 past them that day.Exhibition rugby at it's best.
