Not sure how true this one is, and may have heard it wrong.
David Johnson is the only person to score in both legs of a Play-Off Semi-Final, which I think he did for Nottingham Forest.
Well he was the only one
As Brennan Johnson has just done exactly the same for Nottingham Forest - And happens to be David's son.
You slightly misheard - David Johnson is the only player to score for Forest in both legs of a play off semi final (ironically it was also against Sheffield United)

Hadn't realised he was David Johnson's son - common surname I guess so didn't think much of it.
I hadn't either. I remember hoping Ipswich wouldn't go up so we could sign David Johnson. It was a good thing we didn't, he never made the step up to the Prem.
Going massively off topic but there was a story at the time that Charlton, Sunderland and Ipswich all got their second choices out of Mendonca, Philips and Johnson that summer. I think all of them are quite happy they did.
Pukki was the only Norwich player last season to score in more than one of their 38 PL games. I wonder how many times just one player has done that in a season?

That's an absolutely crazy stat.
How you can you go through a season and manage that?!

It is quite unbelievable. Sargent was the only other player who scored more than once but his two goals came in the same game against Watford. Pukki scored 11, another eight players scored just once and there were two own goals making 23 goals in total.
Since 1988 the Republic of Ireland have qualified for three World Cups and three Euros but they haven't included a single player from their domestic league in a squad for a major tournament.

Not during the Qualifying rounds.

Still a fun fact now though
In 1981 they faced Liverpool... in Paris, and lost 1-0

If Darwin Nunez plays for Liverpool, he'll be the first player for them with that sort of connection since Sydney Smith
Bit like how Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, yet not the United Kingdom
