Johnny Graham (footballer)

John "Johnny" Graham was a leading professional footballer of the 1880s. He was a member of the Preston North End side which became famous as the 'invincibles'.

Johnny Graham was born at Ayr, Scotland on 23 February 1857. He was one of the many Scottish-born footballers who joined Preston North End in the mid-1880s as the Lancashire club assembled a side that was almost unbeatable. He was in the Preston side that were 1887-88 FA Cup Finalists, and the following season played for Preston as they did the double, being Football League Champions and 1888-89 FA Cup Winners. During the 1888-89 season his brother William also played for Preston, but that season his football career was ended when he suffered a broken collarbone in a game. He died in 1927.
