David Alan Johnson (born 29 October 1970 in Dinnington, West Riding of Yorkshire)[2] is an English former professional footballer who scored 15 goals from 105 appearances in the Football League playing as a forward for Sheffield Wednesday, Hartlepool United (in two separate loan spells),[3] and Lincoln City.[2] He was Lincoln's leading scorer in the 1993–94 season with 13 goals in all competitions.[2] After leaving Lincoln in 1996, he joined the Conference club Altrincham.[4]
Dave took a break from football after leaving Altrincham. After the break he joined Thundridge City FC as a player-coach, his most memorable moment being his overhead kick in a league match. He has now taken on a full coaching role for the club and has led the team to two top half finishes, two consecutive seasons. Thundridge City FC earned promotion in the 2015/16 season.
Despite Johnson enjoying early success with Thundridge, he has recently found himself under pressure from the club's board following a poor first half of the 2016/17 season. Dubbed the "Yorkshire Ranieri", he matches the Italian's Leicester record in finding success one season, followed by disappointment the next.
