GILLINGHAM manager Ronnie Jepson singled out Leon Johnson as one of the stars of Friday's draw at Northampton.
Jepson was delighted with the defender's performance just a week after he scored the winner against Bradford in his 100th game for the Priestfield club.
He said: "I was really proud of people like Leon, who were putting their bodies on the line for the team.
"We knew Northampton were going to come at us. They had lost a few on the spin and were fired up.
"Overall I think the point was a fair reflection on the game."
