Legend - won the lot

That's sad news.

Though I knew he was in & around the team during the late-70s & early-80s, I don't think I realised quite how significant a part he played (particularly during the days of smaller squads) - scored a load of goals and played a big role in our most successful era.

That team/those teams would have been the one(s) that my dad grew up with during his teenage years - sad when a generation begins to lose its heroes.

A great Liverpool player in a great era.

A brilliant player from one of our greatest if not the greatest Liverpool side ever.

RIP Doc.

A key part of the first Liverpool team I fell in love with.

Met him a good few years ago at the Anfield Experience. Was a really nice bloke - condolences to his family. RIP.

Another legend gone, so sad to hear this.

Remember listening a couple of times to "The Doc's Diagnosis" on Radio Merseyside.

RIP David

Sad news.
Loved watching him for us. A real hard worker who did some hard yards for us as well as score goals. A member of perhaps our greatest team
RIP Davy Jonno,

Shocked at this news. Didn' t even know he was ill. Condolences to his family. What a great player and servant for LFC. You will never Walk Alone David. RIP

Made some very important contributions. Type of player we could do with right now.

First ever Liverpool game live for me was a 0-0 at Old Trafford on Boxing Day 1980. David Johnson hit the post and Kenny had one cleared off the line.

Always been in my mind, ever since. Had a spell at Barrow too.

As an 8/9/10 year old I was fascinated by all the moustaches and he was one of those for a while.

Love and best wishes to his family and friends.

So sad to hear about this - shocked really. Met him and Brucie G at Punch Tarmey's a couple years ago - Jono was very funny and a lovely fella. Can't believe the number of ex-Reds players from 60's & 70's passing away in recent years....but, 71 is nothing nowadays. So sad - condolences to his family RIP.

RIP, David Johnson.

Fearless forward and legend from that first great Liverpool team. You helped us win everything.

I really enjoyed watching Johno, always gave everything and a character. I read somewhere about a club visit to Israel (I think) where there was quite a serious press conference, things being what they are in that part of the world, and he burst in shouting "Don't eat the jam lads, it tastes of fish!". It was caviar he'd tasted. RIP Davey.

Wabaloolah · « **Reply #66 on:** November 23, 2022, 05:14:39 pm »

Sad news, first striker I really remember as Tosh had gone to Swansea just as I began following us.

I could never figure out why he only won 8 England caps, both he and Terry Mac never got the international recognition they deserved in my opinion

RIP DJ - thanks for the memories fella

RIP Davy...loads of great memories ...maybe that flick across to Ray Kennedy to score in Munich to take us to Paris in '81 the one that stands out for me.

Kennys from heaven · « **Reply #74 on:** November 23, 2022, 08:40:46 pm »

Top class bloke.

He sat with me for 3/4 hour at one of the Champions League games in the Isla Gladstone and just chatted away as if we'd known each other for ages. Really, really lovely bloke.

Gutted to hear this.

RIP

The club have not posted anything on him though.

They've got four different articles on the main page now. Well 3 and a video.

RIP Doc.

Very sad news. Fond childhood memories of JOHNSON and those great PAISLEY teams he played in.
A true Liverpool legend.

Had a pint with him, Roy Evans and Howie Gayle in Vegas two days before the champions league final win over Spurs. First ever Kopcom and they where over for it and it was our last night there. Marc Kenny was the compare and all 3 of the ex reds where a great laugh and drank with us all night as we where the only scousers there. RIP Johnno.
