Thomas "Tommy" Johnson (born 15 January 1971) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker from 1989 until 2007 notably in the Premier League for Aston Villa and Everton and in the Scottish Premier League for Celtic and Kilmarnock.
He also played in the Football League for Notts County, Derby County, Sheffield Wednesday, Gillingham, Sheffield United and Scunthorpe United, before finishing his career in Non-league with Tamworth and Rocester.
He is currently Head of Recruitment at Blackburn Rovers.
Tommy Johnson was born in Gateshead, England.
Johnson started his career with Notts County in the summer of 1987, joining them as an apprentice on leaving school. He was a first-team regular and a professional by the end of the decade, when still only 18 years old, and his prolific goalscoring saw County reach the First Division in 1991 after two successive promotion playoff triumphs. However, County lasted just one season in the top flight and missed out on a place in the new Premier League that came into force for the 1992–93 season. Johnson had played 118 league games for the Magpies, scoring 47 goals – his best season being the 1989–90 campaign which saw them win promotion from the Third Division via the playoffs.
