Michael Johnson was a centre back during the George Burley and Billy Davies eras and was a fine example of a professional with his never say die attitude.
Before him Tommy Johnson was a tricky winger that like Michael had previously played for Notts County.
The focus currently is on a midfielder who had added some much needed bite into the position. Bradley Johnson, a no nonsense player who carries a bit of muscle. He wins balls, he passes very well and has an eye for goal when the chance is there.
Many eyebrows were raised when we paid six million pounds for him. Indeed, I really didn't know what to think. It's obvious now though what Paul Ckement saw in him and for me he has proven to be that missing link we needed from midfield to forwards.
I suppose there are a few similarities with former Ram Seth Johnson though they aren't exactly the same type of player.
If we are to have a successful season, I can see Johnson along with Geirge Thorne being key players.
A nice 2-1 away win at Huddersfield last weekend after the goalless draw at Blackburn sees us sitting pretty in fifth place. We move on to three games in seven days. Home games with Rotherham and QPR followed by the big East Midlands clash with our arch rivals Nottingham Forest.
A very important run of games and hopefully nine points or seven at the very least though you can't take anything for granted in this division.
