	Craig Johnston
		Craig Johnston (born Johannesburg, 8 December 1960) was a footballer who became the first Australian to make a major impact in the English game.
		Johnston overcame an appalling bout of the polio-related condition osteomyelitis in his childhood (doctors had suggested an amputation of his leg but his mother refused and sent him to the USA for treatment) and as he grew up found he could play football to a good standard.
		Though Johnston was a crowd favourite at Anfield during his long spell with the club, he was never a regular in the side, with his versatility in midfield and as a striker counting against him.

	Australia: former union official Craig Johnston jailed for nine months
		In May, Johnston received a one-year suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to charges of affray, criminal damage and verbal assault in exchange for the dropping of a “threat to kill” charge that carried a maximum penalty of 25 years jail.
		Blasting Johnston and Workers First for causing “industrial mayhem” and for having “scared off hundreds of millions of dollars in investment” the editorial concluded: “Mr Johnston’s actions were a throwback to a more brutal and confrontational time.
		Johnston and Workers First have proven incapable of mounting any serious defence of workers rights, including their own, not because of cowardice or personal weakness, but because they share the same narrow, nationalist, trade union perspective as their rivals—the subordination of the working class to the framework dictated by the profit system.

		As a result, Craig and his lawyers were not convinced that he would get a fair trial given the political nature of the case and Curaks vastly exaggerated account of the affair.
		Media reports had already prejudiced Craig's case before his trial was due to begin in May and the AMWU national leadership openly campaigned against Craig instead of building a campaign to support him.
		Although some of the 15 unions that are supporting Craig, thought that the run-through protests at Skilled Engineering and Johnson Tiles were a mistake, they all recognised that the run-throughs were part of an industrial campaign to save workers' jobs, and that emotions run high when companies throw workers on to the scrap heap.

		Johnston was actually born in South Africa and only later raised in Australia, but such nuances were probably lost on Charlton at that juncture.
		It was in his career-saving analyses of what greater players did instinctively, that Johnston found the ideas that were to grow into the Predator, and also into a software system that he developed called Supaskills, which analyses a player's performance to improve his game.
		But, first of all, Johnston is in competition to win the £25,000 Designer of the Year award, a contest parallel to the Turner Prize and aimed at showcasing British design talent (Johnston has lived here for nearly a quarter of a century).

		The final focus of the Johnston laboratory examines the potential toxic effect(s) of several minor metabolites of organophosphate pesticides used in agriculture on reproduction.
