Lee Johnson jokingly threatens to keep granddaughter away from parents

Oldham Athletic manager Lee Johnson has jokingly insisted that he has a threat that will ensure that his mother supports him over his father Gary Johnson, who is in charge of Yeovil Town.

Johnson will go head-to-head with his father for the first time since he was appointed at Boundary Park in March when Oldham go up against Yeovil in a League One clash tomorrow evening.

"[My mum] better be [supporting me] otherwise she won't be seeing her granddaughter anymore," Johnson told Sky Sports News. "So that's the thing I've got on them both, and I'll use it, trust me."

The 31-year-old became the youngest manager to be appointed in the Football League.
