He won three consecutive Avon County Championships and won the English junior and senior champion prior to turning professional ahead of the 1988-1989 snooker season.[2] He reached the last-16 at the 1989 British Open, recording credible wins over Terry Griffiths and Eugene Hughes, before his run was ended by former world champion Joe Johnson.[3] After his first season as a professional he had risen to number 52 in the world rankings.[4] Over the next couple of seasons his ranking moved down to number 59 and then back to number 52 in the world.[3]
Johnston-Allen reached the final of the 1991 European Open while ranked #59 in the world, a run which included a 5–0 win over Stephen Hendry, but lost 7–9 to Tony Jones in the final.[5][1] He reached the final of the same event again a year later, this time losing 9–3 to Jimmy White.[1] He qualified for the main stage of the World Championship in 1992, but lost 4–10 to Tony Knowles in the first round.[1]
At the International Open in 1995, he knocked out Hendry, Mark Williams and Ronnie O'Sullivan before losing 5–0 to White in the quarter-finals.[1] He defeated White en route to the semi-finals of the 1995 Thailand Open, where he lost to James Wattana.[1] His world ranking peaked at number 31,[1] in the 1992/1993 season,[1][6] During his career, he won each of his three matches against Stephen Hendry.[7][1]
