Henry Johnson (footballer)

Henry Edward Johnson (19 November 1897 – 20 October 1962)[1] was an English footballer who played as a forward in the 1920s for Southampton and Queens Park Rangers.

[2] He started his professional football career with Coventry City for whom he made only two first-team appearances, from where he was loaned to Darlaston of the Birmingham & District League.

He was recalled to the team in March, following the sale of Fred Foxall to Birmingham as part of a four-player exchange deal, but after two matches he was dropped in favour of Ken Boyes.

In the 1924–25 season, Johnson was the club's top-scorer with ten league goals as Rangers finished just above the Third Division South re-election places.

In the summer of 1926, Johnson returned to the Midlands, finishing his football career back in the Birmingham & District League with Cradley Heath.
