Former Everton and Tranmere Rovers chairman Peter Johnson has passed away at the age of 84 this week.

Johnson was at Goodison Park from 1994 to 1998 and is remembered fondly by the supporters.

Everton won the FA Cup in 1995 during his time in charge of the club.

Johnson was honored by Everton, with the club writing on social media: "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Peter Johnson, our Chairman from 1994 to 1998 and for our FA Cup win in 1995.

"Our condolences go out to Peter's family and friends at this sad time."

Following Johnson's passing, former FA chief Mark Palios said: "Peter became owner and Chairman just as I finished as a player at Tranmere, but our paths crossed professionally and socially on many occasions over the years, and the personal friendship grew stronger when Nicola and I took over the reins from him in 2014.

"He had a sharp business brain, an equally sharp wit, but also a deep sense of commitment to helping his local community.

"Without his intervention in the 1980s, there may well literally not have been a Tranmere Rovers today.

"Everyone who loves the Club owes him an enormous debt of gratitude and I will miss him hugely. Thank you for everything Peter, and God Speed."
