Where Liverpool icon David Johnson's 'Doc' nickname came from

Former England striker David Johnson, the first player to score for both Everton and Liverpool in Merseyside derbies, has died at the age of 71.

Affectionately known as 'the Doc', Johnson played eight times for England and scored six goals, including two in a 3-1 win against the then reigning World champions Argentina, Diego Maradona et al, in 1980.

Phil Thompson, Johnson's former Liverpool and England team-mate, led the tributes.

'It's a very sad day. The Doc was so popular among the lads and he was hugely influential in keeping us all together after we finished playing,' Thompson said.
