Andrew Johnson became Fulham’s biggest signing of 2008 when he signed from Everton on a four-year contract.

The striker joined the Toffees in May 2006 from Crystal Palace for £8.6m and scored 22 times in 73 appearances during his time at Goodison Park.

Johnson started his career at Birmingham City in 1997, but rapidly came to the fore when he signed for Crystal Palace in July 2002, averaging more than a goal every other game for the Eagles. Indeed, the 32 he netted during 2003-04 was the highest in the Championship that season, and helped secure Crystal Palace's promotion to the Premier League.

He subsequently ended 2004-05 as the Premier League's top English goalscorer and made his England debut in February 2005 against Holland, when he replaced Wayne Rooney as a second-half substitute.

AJ opened his account for Fulham against Wigan at Craven Cottage on October 29th 2008, bagging a brace that took him past the 100 league goals landmark.

He went on to score 10 goals over the course of the campaign before his season was cut short with a knee injury in Fulham's home match against Stoke City at the end of April. 

Jonhson has endured more than his share of injury frustration over the past two seasons but since the turn of the year he has returned to his very best form and married his fine all round play with goals. 

The striker netted his first goal against Wigan Athletic on the 15th January before adding another to his tally against Aston Villa on February 5th and was a regular feature in Fulham's starting eleven over the second half of the 2010/11 season.

AJ has returned to arguably his best form this sesaon, netting four times in the UEFA Europa League by mid-September.

Following a brace against Odense BK Johnson then scored a hat-trick against QPR in the same week as Fulham's defeated their West London rivals 6-0 at Craven Cottage.

Johnson's hot form in Europe continued at the start of November with a brace against Wisla Krakow in Fulham's 4-1 victory at Craven Cottage to take his total to 11 goals in all competitions.
