'Orns Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Having a convo with a colleague about something that could only be settled by looking at wikipedia, just seen that ex City striker Steve Johnson has passed away today, aged 60 Not a long, or particularly distinguished spell here, but clearly remember him playing. Turned 60 last month, so only a little older than Glyn Riley who we were all sharing memories of yesterday Sad news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natchfever Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I thought he was mint. Seemed to hang in the air, and of course we weren't exactly top notch back then so he looked the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I seem to remember that he was a very physical striker who did pretty well for us, but he had a bad injury where he was stretchered off and looking in a pretty bad state.. I don't think he ever got his previous form back while he was with us. Wiki states that he left to go back up north as he couldn't settle in the Bristol area, I never realised that. RIP Rambo.

Mendip City Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 The title of his thread - or something - needs tidying up. It’s not our former player “Rambo” but Gary’s brother/Lee’s uncle who has died. “Our” Steve’s Wikipedia entry links to this article, clearly about the other Steve. https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-johnson-younger-brother-cheltenham-1829142 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 This one is Gary's older brother. It was talk about him posting on here as "yessir" defending his little brother. True or false. Something we would all do. RIP Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Whilst I have no wish to make light of a subject that, for his family and friends, is obviously a traumatic time, there would appear to be some confusion.... Stephen Anthony Johnson (23 June 1957 – 26 July 2018)[1] was an English professional footballerwho played as a striker. He played in the Football League for six different clubs and also played in non-league football and abroad. Playing career[edit] Johnson played non-league football for Bangor City and Altrincham before being signed by Football League side Bury in November 1977.[2] He spent six years at Gigg Lane and then had a relatively short spell with Rochdale before moving to Wigan Athletic in February 1984. 13 months later Johnson joined Bristol City for £40,000,[2] but he could not settle in the area[2] and returned north by rejoining Rochdale on loan and then reuniting with his former Wigan manager Harry McNally at Chester City in March 1986 in a further loan deal.

Angmering Red Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Think wikipedia is confused as well, I have had a look around the internet, Gary Johnson's brother I believe died on Tuesday tribute in KentLive describing him as ex manager of Crowborough and East Grinstead...and also Uncle of Lee Johnson. Steve Johnson the ex City centre forward died today. However wikipedia has a reference linking to Steve Johnson, LJ's uncle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'm not at all sure Steve Johnson (Rambo) has died. Gary's brother and Lee's uncle has, I've been reading the tributes. Very confusing, but i think the ex-BCFC player isn't dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
