Malcolm Graham (26 January 1934 – 12 September 2015) was an English footballer who played as a striker, mainly for Barnsley and Leyton Orient. Graham joined Barnsley from non-league Hall Green in 1953, while still working as a miner at Haigh Colliery.〔"The Men Who Made Leyton Orient Football Club", N Kaufman & A Ravenhill, Breedon Books, 2002 p. 182-184.〕 He stayed with Barnsley for several seasons, but left when the club was relegated at the end of the 1958–59 season. After a brief spell at Bristol City, he moved to Leyton Orient for £8000 on 20 June 1960.〔 At Orient, Graham was part of the team that gained promotion to the First Division in 1961–62, scoring both goals in the 2–0 win over Bury that sent them up on the last day of the season. He was joint top scorer with Dave Dunmore in Orient's single season in the top flight, scoring a hat-trick in the 9–2 thrashing of Chester in the League Cup.〔 However, he left Orient at the end of that season to join Queens Park Rangers. Only staying for one season, he returned to Barnsley before moving back into non-league football. Graham retired due to a long-standing knee injury while playing for Alfreton Town, and later worked for the East Midlands Gas Board.〔"The Untold Story of the O's Best-ever Team", Tony McDonald, FootballWorld, 2006 p.258.〕 Malcolm Graham died in Barnsley on Saturday 12 September 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malcolm Graham 1934–2015 )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malcolm Graham (footballer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
