Offered contracts by both Fitzroy and Collingwood in 1952 Johnson refused both as he was a Melbourne supporter. He joined the playing list in 1953 but missed the year doing national service, before debuting in the reserves in 1954.

1955 saw Johnson break into the senior side and win the Best First Year Player award in a premiership side. Originally a back pocket, by the time he won the 1957 flag he was also playing at centre-half forward.

Known as 'Phantom' because he did what he needed to do with minimal fuss, Johnson missed the 1958 and 1959 finals campaigns, but returned in a back pocket for 1960.

He retired after the 1962 season and was named a life member that year. Coached the Under 19's in 1968.

In 2006 he was awarded the Order of the Medal of Australia for his service to the community through charity fundraisers organised by his business Crown Mushrooms.
