Edward Johnson (12 November 1901 – 21 April 1970) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the VFL during the 1920s.
He was a key position forward and represented Victoria at interstate football.
From his debut in 1923 he topped the club's goalkicking for six successive seasons.
Johnson favoured punting over place-kicking,[1][2] after infamously kicking only two goals from 14 place kicks in the match, against Melbourne, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, on 24 May 1924.
