Birthplace/town

The article currently categorises Johnson under Category:People from Kidsgrove. He was in fact born at Victoria Road in Fenton, where his family, including my grandmother (an older sister), lived for some time. I'm not sure whether this can be sourced to Wikipedia standards but will try to find something.

I have an obituary here from the Yorkshire Evening Post. Unfortunately, some family member has clipped it so tightly that it has neither a page number nor a date. It contains a bit of information about his post-playing career, which included being reserve team trainer at York City 1937-63. That was a part-time role. - Sitush (talk) 19:45, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
