Mikey Johnston admits being ‘disrespectful’ about ex-West Brom Premier League star
Mikey Johnston has admitted to being disrespectful to former West Brom star Stephane Sessegnon in a TikTok video.
The Baggies posted a video on 5 September featuring the Republic of Ireland international blind ranking “streets won’t forget” players.
In a list featuring the likes of Adel Taarabt, Yannick Bolasie and Hatem Ben Arfa, Johnston placed former Albion star Sessegnon in third place.
Given that the Benin international featured at The Hawthorns in the Premier League, the 25-year-old admitted to “disrespecting” the attacking midfielder and other players he didn’t know.
He said: “He goes in at three. It’s a bit disrespectful but I don’t know most of them, sorry lads”

The former Baggies star was a Premier League regular also playing for Sunderland in his time in England.
After a spell with PSG, Sessegnon made a home for himself before moving to Montpellier and then to Turkey.
It seems that the now 40-year-old isn’t too well remembered outside of the Hawthorns and Stadium of Light based on Johnston’s reaction.
The Irishman may not have watched much of the league having been born in Glasgow and coming through the academy setup with Celtic.
He completed a permanent move away from Parkhead for the first time in his career in the most recent transfer window, signing for the Baggies after an initial loan spell.

With his future at The Hawthorns now secure, fans will hope that he can learn about former players and rank them more appropriately in these TikTok lists.
