Marvin Johnson

Marvin Anthony Johnson Date of Birth: Oct 29, 1968

Picked up by the Hatters from school football in Aylesbury, Marvin was moved into defence for the youth side before signing professional forms in October 1986.

With an established partnership of Steve Foster and Mal Donaghy in the Town’s top flight defence at the time, Marvin had to bide his time but once he established himself in the side he was difficult to budge and went on to make 373 League appearances for his only club before hanging up his boots in 2002.

Showing whole hearted effort and a penchant for spectacular own goals, Marvin was a crowd favourite at Kenilworth Road and it was no surprise when he was offered a coaching position with the club when he stopped playing.

Marvin subsequently took on a coaching role near Washington DC.
