John Stephen Johnson (born 7 July 1944) is a former English

batsman. He was born in Doncaster
, Yorkshire.

Johnson made his debut for

MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances.[2] He made his List A debut for Shropshire against Essex in the 1974 Gillette Cup. He made 6 further List A appearances for the county, the last of which came against Leicestershire in the 1989 NatWest Trophy.[3] In his 7 List A matches for Shropshire, he scored 55 runs at an average of 7.85, with a high score of 27.[4]

Playing for Shropshire allowed him to represent a Minor counties cricket team in one form of another. He made 3 List A appearances in the

Minor Counties cricket team in the 1980 Benson & Hedges Cup, playing against Glamorgan and Gloucestershire.[3] He also played his only first-class match for the Minor Counties against the touring Indians in 1979.[6] Opening the batting, he scored an unbeaten 146 in the Minor Counties first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 24 runs by Karsan Ghavri.[7]

Johnson later stood as an umpire in Minor counties and List A cricket.[8][9][10]
