Former Liverpool and Everton striker David Johnson has died at the age of 71. Johnson, who was from Halewood, had been ill for some time having been diagnosed with throat cancer in recent years.
During his playing career, Johnson had two spells at Everton and also spent four years at Ipswich Town along with later brief stops at Barnsley, Manchester City, Preston North End and in the United States and Malta.
But it was during six years at Liverpool where the forward enjoyed his greatest success, winning four league championships, two European Cups, one League Cup and a UEFA Super Cup.
