Career
Johnny scored five goals, set up two and scored a six-minute hat-trick. Summers later revealed that he changed his boots at half-time after his old pair had started falling apart. Johnny Summers played for Norwich City, Fulham and Millwall, prior to his Charlton career.
He made his debut for Millwall in 1955 in the opening match of the 1955-1956 season, against Brighton and Hove albion, in front of a 25,000 plus crowd at The Den.
From that time, he never looked back, and was one of the most fearsome and lethal forwards seen at The Den in years. His transfer to Charlton Athletic, for their last season in the old First Division, was regretted by Millwall fans, but seen as inevitable.
He died at the age of just 34 in 1962 of cancer.
