Whatever Happened To... Gavin Johnson
After nearly six years with the U's, Johnson was released at the end of the 2004-05 season, despite having arguably his best season at the club.
He initially had a spell at Boston United at the start of the 2005-06 season, making four appearances, but then moved to Northampton Town at the end of August on a free transfer. He was part of the side which finished second in League Two, making 26 appearances and scoring one goal, but was released by the Cobblers after just one season.
After leaving Sixfields, he signed for Oxford United following a pre-season trial. Oxford just missed out on promotion back to the Football League, losing in the conference play-offs, and he was released at the end of the season, having made 35 appearances scoring 2 goals.
Due to family commitments and not wanting to travel too far for his football, he opted to join Bury Town in August 2007 over offers from higher profile clubs. He spent three seasons at Rams Meadow, culminating in Bury winning the league championship in 2009-10. With Bury joining the national league, he left them, again due to family commitments.
Last season he played for Walsham Le Willows in the Eastern Counties League Premier Division. Now, aged 41, he plays for Needham Market in the Isthmian League Division One North.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Boston United, Northampton Town, Oxford United, Bury Town, Walsham Le Willows, Needham Market.

The hope of getting back into the Premier League automatically has long gone, but the season is not yet over and we now have a good chance of getting to Wembley and going up through the play offs, here we look at who we could meet.
This should have been a celebratory day for Saints fans, there should have been a feeling of positivity, but the truth is that the fight has been knocked out of the supporter base and we go into the play offs with confidence both on and off the pitch at a low ebb.
