Tiny winger who first came to prominence in the 2006 World Cup when he was named
in the Mexican side against Argentina and proceeded to go for the jugular,
attacking like a demon with several outstanding twisting runs and dribbles.
He was linked with Europe's top clubs after the tournament but his club, CF Atlas,
managed to hold on to him until this summer, when he moved to Deportivo La Coruna.
When Sven took over at Man City in the summer and proceeded to buy half of Europe
many were expecting City's line-up to be void of any British players.
So imagine the surprise when City's great start to the season featured a young
local lad bossing the midfield and weighing in with a couple of cracking
goals. That's Michael Johnson - a fresh faced midfielder who looks like he's
just left primary school but who's dynamic runs, tackling and
all round ability have led to comparisons with Steven Gerrard.
