Alex Graham (footballer)

[4] After a year in the reserves he made his debut in a First Division match on 25 December 1912 against Notts County and played another 14 games that season.

By 1914–15, with Woolwich Arsenal now relegated to the Second Division, Graham had become a regular,[5] but World War I brought with it the suspension of League football in England.

Graham left Woolwich Arsenal to return to his native Scotland, where he guested for Vale of Leven, Hamilton Academical (two spells) and Third Lanark.

[3][6] After football in England resumed in 1919, he re-signed for Arsenal (who had won back promotion to the First Division) and retook his regular place at centre half.

[7] Graham worked as a miner during World War I and later ran a confectionery and tobacco shop on Brentford High Street.
