Johnson proving he's no baby


PORTSMOUTH right-back Glen Johnson, has broken a club record by scooping all nine awards at the end-of-season prize-giving ceremony.

Johnson has come on in leaps and bounds since his move to Fratton Park from Stamford Bridge; He always had potential, but Jose Mourinho felt his constant lapses in concentration would ultimately prove costly for Chelsea, and so sold him.

Tony Adams didn’t get much right down on the South Coast. However, it’s no coincidence that Johnson’s resurgence came about after working closely alongside the former Arsenal defender, and his place in Fabio Capello’s 2010 World Cup squad looks a certainty if he continues in his current vein.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is said to be weighing up a £10m bid in the summer. You can almost feel the Chelsea hierarchy kicking themselves from here.
