Ricky comes from a famous footballing family with his father Jack and nephew Ben each playing over 200 games in the VFL/AFL.
He made his debut for Geelong's VFL side in 1965 and appeared in the seniors sporadically over the course of his five-year career.
His efforts in the reserves that year earned him selection as 20th man in the Grand Final against Richmond but he finished on the losing side.
Graham was appointed captain-coach of New Norfolk in 1970 and won the William Leitch Medal two years later.
