Richard Johnson retires

442 has confirmed Richard Johnson is retiring after the end of his contract

I'd believe this one more:

442 may not be as reliable however they say the same thing............

Similar story to Ross Aloisi.  So many years in football then injury made them choose between playing a bit more or being able to live properly afterwards.  Thanks for everything you've done with the Knights and Phoenix.  Worked hard and always gave 100%.  All the best for the future and congratulations on the baby.

cheers Jono. Well played.

as above,a big thanks all round

Tell him on facebook HK. 2ndBest2009-02-11 21:27:02

Yep I was a big fan of Johnno at the Knights and he put in some very level headed games for the Nix as well.

+ 1, great contribution to both NZ HAL teams

dont get cheeky dale

i only really talk to siggy on facebook and thats because his family are friends with my family and after getting the rest of the squad to sign my flag the other day he gave me a ride home

As long as it's for the opposition, I hope.

Did he ever get to go to any Elton John Parties around that time?HarryHotspur2009-02-11 22:19:01

Yer that's what I meant.  I was gonna say againt Man U but I have a feeling his goal wasn't against Man U.

All the best to Johno in his post-football life.

Good player in his day, done very well to acheive what he has

You should know that it was - "which Nix player scored against Man U at Old Trafford" was one of the questions on the day we ate two plates of ribs then went on the bungy

Johnno - Thanks for your time with us, all the best for your future

Meh...for some reason I thought it was Watford vs some random team at old trafford. Not sure why. 2ndBest2009-02-12 08:17:06

Thanks for strangling Gao........

He had some nice things to say about the Nix in this morning's Dom. Thanks for all your efforts and I'll wear my Johnson 12 shirt with pride.

All the best for the future. You gave it all when you were on the field, cant ask for more than that. What a great career you have to look back on, well done!

All the best, la! Thanks for everything

Cheers, well done.

Thanks Richard for the effort and the passion. thanks too for your service at QPR as well. I wish you a happy retirement, perhaps coaching? Sorry about the injury not healing properly, the joys of playing at the highest level i guess.

Thanks for the memories Johnno!

And thats why we love you smithy.
