He cited the death of his mother as the biggest motivator for his decision: Johnson admitted his decision was influenced by the loss of his mother, Btroy Johnson, who died on June 7 from ovarian cancer. The last conversation Johnson had with her came in late May when he was in Lisbon calling the Champions League final between Spanish sides Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. 'I asked her if she wanted me to come home and she said, "No. You are a Johnson man and your job is to work," Johnson said. 'I finished the game, got back home, and she was pretty much unconsciousness at that point because she had Stage Four ovarian cancer. I never got the chance to talk to her again because the cancer was eating her up. I think I’m still in the process of healing. My mother was the most important person in my life. She is the one who gave me my love for sports and communication.' |
Fox wanted to groom him for the top announcing gig at the 2018 World Cup. From the beginning they should have just gone with Martin Tyler or another top British announcer, who actually knows what he is talking about.
Obviously that's sad about his mom and I wish him well.

Guy is following his heart based on the way he feels about the loss of his mother and you two chirp him about his ability as a soccer announcer?
No reason for either of you to comment on his position given the fact neither of you can hold a candle to the job he does in his given field.
Granted he will never read your posts but pretty sure you two epitomize the problem with trolls hiding behind their keyboard. Have a splash of compassion in your life for a man who is following his heartache.
