As of March 2016, Johnson was working at Crystal Palace as a club ambassador.[2]
Was driving listening to Talksport yesterday, they had that Simon Jordan fella on, he was quite interesting with his stories and how the game works at the higher end.
Anyway, he was asked has he ever kept a player when they asked to leave, he mentioned AJ and said he wanted to leave but he promised him that if he stayed for a year he could pick any club and he would let him sign for them. So he said that AJ picked Everton, 2 other clubs offered vastly more money, they even offered to pay cash, but AJ wanted Everton, so he sold him to us for vastly cheaper, his words were something like "I even let Bill Kenwright pay me on the drip".
Made me laugh anyway, pure The old Ev.

He scored one that will always live with me. Late winner v. Arsenal in the hail. Six hours later, my wife lost her battle with cancer.
Remember the match well
So very sorry to hear that mate.
Puts everything in perspective.

Loved AJ but have to agree with that about composure. I believe if he would had a bit more of that we would have completed the turn around against fiorantina that night. Remember him going through a couple of times late on and trying to square it instead of just taking it on his own and finishing.

3-0 against Liverpool was nice. Not much more to be remembered by him. We made a nice profit of him for the time, good business.

Spot on. He would have scored more if Moyes had not had him running like the clappers towards the opposition corner flag in Moyes unreal way of providing our 'out ball'. AJ was excellent running directly onto goal...Moyes ruined him. Moyes thought AJ was Marcus Bent.
