Andy Johnson (born 2 May 1974 in Bristol) is a Wales international footballer who currently plays in the Football League Championship for Leicester City.
His career started out at Norwich City, before joining Nottingham Forest in 1997, failing to give Johnson the opportunity to fulfil his potential at the club. Having made over one hundred appearances in Forest's squad, he moved on to West Bromwich Albion due to his contract expiring at the end of the season. His appearances for WBA ensured that they achieved the second promotion spot in the division and thus moved up to the Premier League.
Johnson made his 100th league appearance for West Bromwich Albion during the 2003-04 league season. He has made several appearances for his chosen country, Wales, but has yet to score a goal in international competition.
Since joining Leicester City in the summer of 2006, he has been heavily criticised for his performances by the City fans, especially in the 2-1 away defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on 4 November 2006. Following that performance, Johnson had a spell on the sidelines through injury, but has since made a comeback and was the man of the match against Luton Town on 3 February 2007.
