Robert George Graham

Robert George Graham (born Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, 1 January 1845, died Hampton, Middlesex, 6 April 1922) was a British sportsman and businessman.

[7] Through Barnes FC and the London Rowing Club, Graham came into contact with Robert Willis, who would serve as second secretary of the Football Association from 1866 to 1867.

[8] The future for the FA did not look promising at this time: only ten clubs were members,[9] resulting in low attendance at the 1867 annual meeting.

[11] This increased membership to thirty by 1868, but did not prevent the association from running out of money, with the officers having to cover expenses out of their own pockets.

[14] Graham was also a keen rower, competing for the London Rowing Club at the Henley Royal Regatta of 1865.

[18][24] After Robert's death, Winifred produced two books supposedly communicated by her father via automatic writing.
