Peter Graham (born 19 April 1947) [1] is an English former professional footballer who scored 91 goals from 340 games in the English Football League playing as a forward for Barnsley, Halifax Town, Darlington, Lincoln City and Cambridge United. [2]

Career

Graham was born in Worsbrough Common, Barnsley. He was an apprentice plumber playing part-time football for Worsbrough Bridge Athletic before signing a professional contract with Barnsley F.C. He spent four years at Barnsley, playing only infrequently, and after a month on loan to Halifax Town he joined Darlington. After three seasons, during which he scored 43 goals from 116 League appearances, Graham signed for Lincoln City for a fee of £12,500 in September 1973. [1] He scored only twice in his first season, but 13 goals the next season placed him second behind Sam Ellis in the club's scoring charts. [3] He began the 1975–76 season with 11 goals from 13 starts, but a knee injury meant he missed the second half of that season as Lincoln went on to win the Fourth Division title. [1] In his last season with the club, he was joint top scorer alongside Mick Harford, with only nine goals. [3] He finished his playing career with Cambridge United, where he was assistant manager, and later managed Newmarket Town. [1]
