Johnson made his first-class cricket debut in 1965 and won his county cap in 1970.[1] He was a versatile batsman and off-spin bowler who featured in a strong Kent team which won four County Championships and a number of limited overs trophies during his time with the club. He was vice-captain of the Kent side under Mike Denness.
