Edward Johnson (footballer, born 1859)

Edward Johnson (born 1859, date of death unknown) was an English footballer who played as a forward. He is primarily known for his time at Blackburn Rovers, where he was a member of the team during the early years of competitive football in England.

While detailed statistical information regarding his career is scarce, Johnson is recorded as having played for Blackburn Rovers during the late 1870s and early 1880s, a period when the club was establishing itself as a force in the FA Cup. He participated in several FA Cup campaigns, though his specific contributions and impact on the team's success are not extensively documented in available historical records. Information regarding his other clubs, if any, and the duration of his footballing career remains limited.

Further research into local newspaper archives and footballing records from the period would be necessary to provide a more comprehensive account of Edward Johnson's footballing career.
