Glen McLeod Cooper Johnson (né Stephens; born 23 August 1984) is an English former professional footballer who played as a right back.
Johnson began his career at West Ham United, spending time on loan at Millwall, and was signed by Chelsea for a £6 million fee after West Ham's relegation in 2003. He helped Chelsea win the 2004–05 Premier League title and the 2005 League Cup final. In June 2006, Johnson joined Portsmouth on loan for the 2006–07 season. Following a successful season on loan at Fratton Park, Johnson joined Portsmouth permanently for a fee of around £4 million.
Johnson played 99 times for Portsmouth and played in the 2008 FA Cup final as Portsmouth beat Cardiff City 1–0. Johnson moved to Liverpool in the summer of 2009 for a £17.5 million fee. Johnson spent six seasons at Anfield making 200 appearances which included victory in the 2012 League Cup final. He joined Stoke City in July 2015 on a free transfer, and made 64 appearances over three seasons before retiring.
Johnson was capped 54 times by the England national team from 2003 to 2014. He was selected in England's squads for the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups and UEFA Euro 2012.
Early life
Known as Glen Stephens at the time of his birth, he took his mother's surname following the separation of his parents.<ref name="sunday-mirror-2003">Template:Cite news</ref> His parents Wendy Johnson and John Stephens named him after former England midfielder Glenn Hoddle.<ref name="sunday-mirror-2003"/> He was born in Greenwich, London,<ref name=Hugman1011/> and grew up in Dartford, Kent,<ref name="Johnson on the truth behind his bad-boy image">Template:Cite news</ref> where he attended Temple Hill Primary School<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and then Leigh CTC School.<ref name="KSFA Past Players">Template:Cite news</ref> He was raised by his mother and grew up with his younger brother and older half-sister.<ref name="sunday-mirror-2003"/>
At one stage of his childhood, he lived in a hostel as his mother had nowhere to live. Johnson credits his mother with helping him develop a football career, saying, "She had a tough time, bringing up three kids as a single parent with no help apart from the goodwill of close friends, and there were times when we had nowhere to stay. At one point we were homeless and staying in a hostel, but once mum got herself on her feet after a few hard years, and passed her driving test so she could take me to football every week, that gave us a fresh start."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Club career
West Ham United
Johnson was a product of the West Ham United youth system managed by Tony Carr from the age of nine, becoming a 15-year-old first year scholar in 2000.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He signed a three-year professional contract with the club on 1 August 2001, close to his 17th birthday.<ref name=Hugman1011/><ref name=GJcontract>Template:Cite news</ref> In the 2001–02 season, he made regular appearances for West Ham reserves, but was unable to break into the first team.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He eventually signed an initial four-week loan deal with local rivals Millwall on 17 October 2002, making his First Division debut in an away loss against Norwich City on 19 October.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name=GJMillwall>Template:Cite news</ref> His loan was twice extended by a month, before he was recalled early to Upton Park after having spent seven weeks at The Den, his final appearance in a Millwall shirt coming in another away defeat to Crystal Palace on 7 November.<ref name=GJMillwall/><ref name=sb0203/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Johnson's Premier League and West Ham debut came on 22 January 2003 in another away defeat to a London club, this time against Charlton Athletic, when he came on for midfielder Édouard Cissé.<ref name=sb0203/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He made 15 league appearances and one FA Cup appearance in 2002–03, becoming a more significant member of the West Ham team as the year went on.<ref name=sb0203/> He even signed a new four-year deal to remain in east London on 18 March 2003, appearing keen to help keep the club in the top flight.<ref name=GJcontract/> However, his last outing in a Hammers shirt was to come on the final day of the season, 11 May 2003, in a 2–2 draw away at Birmingham City<ref name=sb0203/> which condemned the Hammers to relegation to the First Division.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Chelsea
Two months after West Ham United's relegation, Johnson joined London rivals Chelsea, signing on 15 July for a fee of £6 million.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The first purchase under the ownership of Roman Abramovich, he made his debut on 13 August in an away win against Žilina in the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League, and his first Chelsea goal came in the corresponding home leg two weeks later.<ref name=sb0304/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> His league debut came on 17 August in an Anfield win against Liverpool, but he had to wait until 9 November for his first league goal, netting the opener of a 5–0 victory over Newcastle United.<ref name=sb0304/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He made 19 league appearances in 2003–04 as Chelsea finished as runners-up.<ref name=sb0304/>
In Chelsea's FA Cup fifth-round match against Newcastle United in the following season, goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini was sent off late in the match, and with no substitutions remaining, Johnson went in goal. Although he did not concede, Newcastle were already 1–0 up and went through at the expense of Chelsea.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He picked up a winner's medal when he came on as a second-half substitute for Chelsea in the 2005 League Cup final, a match which Chelsea won 3–2 against Liverpool after extra time.<ref name=2005LC>Template:Cite news</ref> He also made 16 appearances,<ref name=sb0405/> enough for a medal, as they won the Premier League title in this season, but he was to miss out on a medal for their success in the next season after managing only four appearances in the league.<ref name=sb0506/>
Johnson joined Portsmouth on a season-long loan in June 2006.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On his return to Chelsea, Johnson started the 2007 FA Community Shield, which Chelsea lost to Manchester United, and the opening Premier League match of the season at home to Birmingham City.<ref name=2007FACS>Template:Cite news</ref>

On 22 November 2008, Johnson scored a 30-yard screamer with his left foot against Hull City, a goal which won Match of the Day's Goal of the Month award for November, and later won the Goal of the Season award.<ref name=MOTD>Template:Cite news</ref> Johnson seemed to have ended speculation that he would move to Liverpool for a rumoured amount of £9 million by signing a four-and-a-half-year contract with Portsmouth on 9 January 2009, although speculation once again suggested that Johnson could make a big money move to Liverpool in the near future;<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> this was reaffirmed in late April 2009<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On 22 April 2009, at the age of 24, Johnson was the youngest member of The Times "Top 50 Portsmouth players" list.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Dead linkTemplate:Cbignore</ref> Johnson was included in the PFA Team of the Year for 2008–09 despite Portsmouth finishing in the bottom-half of the Premier League, just seven points above the relegation zone.<ref name=PFA>Template:Cite news</ref>

Personal life
Born in England, Johnson is of Jamaican descent.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2007, Johnson set up the Glen Johnson Soccer School alongside Sam Taylor, a former player of West Ham United. The football school is based in Dartford, Kent, and its primary focus is training and development within local schools and one of his students is currently at West Ham United.<ref name="Johnson on the truth behind his bad-boy image" />
In January 2007, it was reported that Johnson and his former Millwall teammate Ben May were caught at a B&Q store in Dartford, Kent, attempting to steal bathroom fittings. They both received £80 fines.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Johnson described the incident as "comical" because it was a misunderstanding<ref name="Johnson on the truth behind his bad-boy image" /> — "Ben was doing up his bathroom so we went to B&Q and found one of those sets where you get everything in one box. But he wanted a seat with a slow-close lid, so we took out the seat and put in another one. What we didn't know was that the new seat was £2.35 more expensive. We went through the till, paid for it and then the security guard stopped us and said he had been watching on CCTV. We just burst out laughing. Where's Jeremy Beadle then? But he said, 'No, this is serious, the police are on their way.' The police turned up and they were laughing. I said to the security guard, 'Can we not just pay the £2.35?'" He said, 'No, this is a serious offence.' So the police gave us two options: go to court and fight it out, or pay an on-the-spot fine. We couldn't be bothered going to court so we paid the fine but doing that made us look guilty".<ref name="Johnson on the truth behind his bad-boy image"/>
In 2007, Glen Johnson founded Johnsons Real Estate with his brother, Lewis Johnson. The Johnson Real Estate web site states 'Glen was the founder of Johnsons Real Estate in 2007 and has spearheaded the team ever since.' He is the Chief Executive Officer of Johnsons Real Estate.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In December 2013, Johnson was banned from driving for six months after he was caught speeding in North Wales; he later lost his appeal against his conviction.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
