Portishead Puffin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 just out of interest does anyone know why LJ retired from playing? Was there an injury involved or was it because he was so keen to get on into Management? I had a little look around the web and couldn't see any reference to an injury so assumed it was the latter.

BRISTOL86 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Don't know either but I also assumed the latter! Either that or he just knew it was never gonna get any better than Kilmarnock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose so, he doesn't appear to need the money as it's common knowledge that he has done well in property development, I guess he thought he might as well get on with his preferred career rather than ligging around the lower divisions for the next 4/5 years then trying to find a job.

Marcus Griff Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Heard somewhere that a knee injury made his mind up for him to go into management, I could be wrong, just heard it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Griff Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sure I heard him say in his first press conference that after a knee injury he was never the same so chose management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm sure LJ himself said he never fully recovered from the ankle injury he sustained in our first season back-in the Championship under GJ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Someone I know, who's ITK, said it was because Johnson knew he was coming back to manage City and he wanted OTIB aficionados to ponder about the mystery for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 After he retired he went travelling around the world to educate himself further. Doesn't really shed any light on the orginal question tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 From what I've been told, LJ only ever had eyes for coaching and even during his playing career would pick managers and coaches brains for ideas. I guess he got to an age where he was ready to begin his career and an injury may have been the final push Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
