After watching Boro who were playing a tour of Australia in New South Wales hecwrote to the Boro, among other clubs, asking for a trial, with the Boro been the 1st to reply, his history with big Jack is well documented
It was John Neal who gave Johnston his start & what a player he turned into, I loved his style of football, after establishing himself he was attracting all the scouts from the big teams in the country but John Neal was in the process of building a good, young exciting team with CJ a big part of his plans, unfortunately it didn't work out for Craig at the Boro & from the Jaws of triumph was dispair as we crashed out of the FAC at Wolves & CJ was sold to Liverpool

He made his Boro at home to Everton in THE FAC 4th round in a 3-2 win
His 1st goal at home to WHU April 1978, big John's last Boro game

Between 1977 - 81 he played 77 games, scoring 16 goals

Crackin player.
We were very fortunate to have him play for us(y)
 
Not long after his arrival, I played against him in a Sunday League or some other Old Boys type game. The two of us were due to lock horns in a ferocious midfield battle, but it turned out that I was simply too crap.
