*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Thomas Bourhill "Tommy" Johnston (18 August 1927 – 4 September 2008) was a Scottish-born footballer.
Johnston was the top scorer of Division 2 for the 1957–58 season with 43 goals for Leyton Orient and Blackburn Rovers.[1]
He had a withered arm, a legacy of an injury received while he was a miner and always played with this arm bandaged. Johnston died in the early hours of 4 September 2008 in Australia.[2]
Upon hearing the news of Johnston's death in September 2008 O's chairman Barry Hearn immediately decided that Orient's south stand should be renamed The Tommy Johnston Stand.[3]
