Harry Johnson (4 January 1899 – May 1981) was an English footballer who played as a striker for Sheffield United between 1916 and 1931, and Mansfield Town between 1932 and 1935.
He is Sheffield United's all time top goalscorer with 201 goals.
He played his first match in United colours for a Reserve side at Heckmondwike, and upset the home fans who "displayed a certain amount of animosity," and one irate man even waved an unloaded gun at him.
