Andrew Johnson (footballer, born 1981)
[4] Johnson's made a strong start to his career at Palace by scoring a hat-trick in the 5–0 thrashing of rivals Brighton & Hove Albion on 26 October 2002,[5] and then another, in the next match, at Walsall.[citation needed] With a return to fitness and form, the two soon became Dowie's first choice pairing as the season progressed, with Dougie Freedman adding experience to the strike force.[citation needed] Palace comfortably made it into a top-six position but in the play-offs failed to recover from a first leg defeat at the hands of Watford,[16] being beaten on aggregate in the semi-final.[20] Everton manager David Moyes took the unusual step of contacting the Professional Game Match Officials Board in order to counter these accusations.[citation needed] The board's general manager Keith Hackett agreed that Johnson was being treated harshly and had been denied several clear penalties.[citation needed] He made a good start to the 2011–12 season, scoring a Premier League hat-trick on 2 October in the 6–0 win over West London rivals Queens Park Rangers.[26] Johnson also scored twice in Fulham's 4–1 win over Wisła Kraków on 4 November 2011, putting them on the brink of securing a place in the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League.[27] These goals were Johnson's seventh and eighth in the UEFA Europa League; he also scored against NSÍ Runavík, Crusaders, RNK Split, Twente and Odense.[33] In August 2013, Johnson scored the winning goal in Queens Park Rangers' opening fixture of the Championship season against Sheffield Wednesday.[citation needed] On 3 September 2014, Johnson signed a short-term contract with Crystal Palace on a free transfer, and was given some coaching responsibility with academy players.[37] Johnson was first capped for England at U20 level, being selected in the team for the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship alongside Stuart Taylor, Ashley Cole, Peter Crouch and Matthew Etherington.[38] This subsequently hurried then England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson into giving Johnson his first call-up, to face the Netherlands on 9 February 2005, and he made his first international appearance in that match.
