Tommy Johnson (midfielder) → Tommy Johnson (footballer born 1971) — Current title is not in line with standard disambiguation for football articles, also during his time at Gillingham (and possibly other clubs) he played as a striker, not a midfielder) —ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
