Ivan Johnson
Ivan Nicholas Johnson (born 27 June 1953) is a Bahamas-born former professional English cricketer who played for Worcestershire from 1972 to 1975. Johnson also topped the batting averages for the Young England Under-19 cricket team on a tour of West Indies in 1972. Johnson is also a former staff sub-editor on the Rupert Murdoch newspapers on Fleet Street in London, England, and Australia. And Johnson is the founder, editor, owner and publisher of the bi-weekly popular quality tabloid The Punch, The Bahamas' biggest-selling, most read and controversial newspaper. The then-powerful and internationally star-studded Worcestershire (Worcs) cricket team, which included Pakistan star all-rounder Imran Khan, won the County Championship in 1974. The winning Worcs team was captained by England left-arm spinner Norman Gifford.
Imran Khan is now one of Pakistan's leading politicians. At Worcester, Johnson also played alongside the great South African Cape-coloured England all-rounder Basil D'Oliveira, who helped bring down apartheid in South Africa; Ron Headley, son of the great West Indies batsman George Headley, of Jamaica; West Indies fast-bowler Vanburn Holder, of Barbados; and Jim Cumbes (Worcestershire & Aston Villa); Ted Hemsley (Worcestershire & Sheffield United); and Phil Neale (Worcestershire & Lincoln City).
==Biography==
Johnson was born in Nassau, Bahamas, to a Bahamian father and an English mother. He is the son of the late Bahamas World War II hero Flght-Sgt Basil L.I. Johnson, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM), RAFVR. Flight Officer Johnson flew 50 war-time bombing missions over Nazi Germany from 1943 to 1944 in Avro Lancaster bomber aircraft for the elite, Pathfinder (RAF) No. 156 Squadron RAF of the British Royal Air Force. Flight Officer Johnson was the only black Bahamian to fly in the British Royal Air Force during World War II. In 2000, Flight Officer Johnson was honoured as one of The Bahamas' top 100 heroes of the 20th century. Johnson is also a grandson of the late professional footballer Thomas Tot Walsh, who was centre-forward for Bolton Wanderers, Bristol City and Crystal Palace. Walsh was the 12th man for the legendary 1923 FA Cup Final, known as the White Horse Final, in which Bolton beat West Ham 2–0 at Wembley. It was the first Cup Final to be played at Wembley. A record crowd of 126,000 fans packed into Wembley with another 100,000 outside the stadium. On 15 January 1927, Walsh scored a record six goals or a double hat-trick in a 9-4 win for Bristol City against Gillingham. This is still a record for the number of goals scored by one player in a Football League match in England. Johnson is the first and only Bahamian to play professional cricket at the first-class and junior Test matches level. Johnson is also the only Bahamian to work as a staff sub-editor and journalist on newspapers in Fleet Street, the mecca of journalism in London, England.
