In 1974, at Hull, Johnson played in a memorable match against Yorkshire.
In 1980 in his autobiography, Time to Declare, D'Oliveira wrote that Johnson scored a useful 27 runs to help D'Oliveira to 227, his highest score in first-class cricket.
The Yorkshire bowler Richard Hutton, grew increasingly frustrated with Johnson, who was making streaky shots through the slips and gully area off Hutton's medium-pace bowling.
Finally, when Johnson thick-edged a ball for four, Hutton told Johnson, "Why don't you (expletive) off back onto the Robertson's jam jar, you Golliwog."
Everybody, including Johnson, fell about laughing.
Hutton meant that Johnson's high afro hair-style resembled the Golliwog trademark on the Robertson's jam jar labels.
As D'Oliveira's nickname was Dolly, the Worcestershire players jokingly dubbed this incident "The Dolly and Golly Show".

Again in 1974, at a John Player League one-day game against Northamptonshire, opening batsman Colin Milburn was making a comeback for Northamptonshire.
In 1969, Milburn had retired after losing the sight in his left eye in a car crash.
He returned as a medium-pace bowler and middle-order batsman.
As he was running in to bowl to Johnson, Milburn stopped mid-stride and shouted: "Don't move, anybody!"
The puzzled umpire asked Milburn what was wrong. "
My glass eye fell out.
I don't want anyone to step on it," replied Milburn.
Milburn, the umpire and a couple of Northants players crawled around on their knees searching for Milburn's glass eye in the grass.
Suddenly Milburn yelled, "I've found it," as he waved his glass eye in the air.
Water was brought on to the field so that Milburn could clean the eye.
He then popped it back into its socket and carried on bowling to Johnson.
