Tony (Toe) Johnson, a Blackpool legend 🧡🥲

So sad no one should go to a match and not come home. The second Blackpool fan murdered in my life time, please god if there is one no more.

To All

We are deeply saddened to hear the news that our good friend Tony Johnson has passed away during the early hours of this morning.

It's very difficult to put into words how we all feel on this day, and all of our thoughts are with Tony's partner and family. He did not deserve this to happen to him.

Tony was Blackpool through and through, and one of the best friends ever likely to cross your path in life. Devastated is an understatement.

Blackpool Football Club will be making an announcement shortly with details of a short ceremony and laying of flowers this afternoon from the directors, management and playing staff, and all who can make it there to pay respects to our good friend.
