Anthony James "White Tony" Johnson[1] (22 July 1968 – 22 February 1991) was an English criminal, and member of the organised Cheetham Hill Gang in Manchester.

Susan's father Jimmy Johnson was the husband of Keith Bennett's mother Winnie, and had been treated as a suspect over his step-son's disappearance for several years after his disappearance, even though at the same time local police also suspected that he may have been murdered by Brady and Hindley.

In February 1990, the Pepperhill Mob lost one and a half kilos of heroin from a contact the gang had in London.

Johnson and a few Cheetham Hill Gang members tipped Pepperhill Mob leader Delroy Brown's car over in front of hundreds of people at a festival in Moss Side, to prove their power and intent towards the rival gang.

Johnson was involved in many other criminal activities, including a £362,000 security van robbery at Mumps Bridge, Oldham, in November 1990, which led to his feud with the Noonans.

Tony Wilson was so aggravated by gang attacks, mainly from Johnson, that he agreed to temporarily close The Haçienda.

At a New Year party in 1991, a gun-toting 22-year-old Johnson threatened some of Damian Noonan's successors on the door at The Haçienda.

Johnson was already in trouble with members of the Noonan family because of a dispute over the division of the spoils from a £362,000 security van robbery at Mumps Bridge, Oldham, in November 1990.

He was shot in the car park of the Penny Black pub, Winterford Road, Cheetham Hill, in February 1991.

The pub, which was closed and torched shortly after the attack, was partly owned by Derek Noonan of the Irish-Mancunian crime family.

The gun battle started when Johnson was ambushed in the car park of the Penny Black pub.

Flannery shot McKie then brothers Desmond, Derek and Damian Noonan, along with Michael Sharples, joined in the attack.
