Stats
Bio
A diminutive recruit from Pascoe Vale, Lloyd Johnson was a rover and forward pocket who added spark to North Melbourne's lineup during the mid-1930s. Standing just 173cm, he relied on agility and goal sense to crumb loose balls, managing a respectable return of 32 goals across his 40 senior appearances. He established himself as a regular contributor in his first two seasons, often resting forward to hit the scoreboard, before finding senior opportunities more sporadic in later years. After five seasons at Arden Street, Johnson sought to extend his career with a move to Essendon but failed to break into their senior side, ensuring his VFL legacy remained exclusively with the Shinboners.
