A tricky player on the left wing, Tom Johnson switched to Liverpool from Everton at 32 years of age.
Johnson was one of no fewer than 25 different men selected to play for the Reds during the 1933-34 season, a difficult year that finished with the club narrowly avoiding relegation to the Second Division.
He played in the last 11 matches of the season and scored twice, a period in which six games were won and only three lost.
This contrasted greatly with the previous, depressing run of 17 games before Johnson was picked for the first team, when only one match resulted in maximum points, so his introduction into the team made a significant difference to the club's fortunes at a crucial stage of the season.
Johnson played in nearly half the league games a year later as Liverpool finished in a much more respectable seventh position, but the longest run of successive appearances he had was the last 10 matches of the season.
The final six of the 36 league games he played for the Reds came in the 1935-36 season.
