Ross Graham, a wee lad born on the 20th of February, 2001, proudly hails from Scotland, where he plays as a central defender for Dundee United. Possessing a towering physique of 6ft 4in (1.94m) and a burly weight of 12st 12lb (82kg), almost makes you think he's wandered off a rugby pitch rather than adorning the number 6 jersey in football. Wherever the confusion lies, it's safe to say that he’s leaving his mark in the world of Scottish Premiership.
As for his current market value, it's whimsically placed around €500k; that's approximately £413k if you prefer a figure that doesn't make your eyes water. You could thank our buddies at Transfermarkt for these juicy facts. His contract with Dundee United is due to expire on 31 May 2026. Perhaps by then he'll be worth more than a semi-detached in Cumbernauld?
Joining Dundee United as a trainee back in July 2017, it's astonishing to see the strides made by young Graham. From scrabbling about with Dundee United in season 2021 - 2022, showing his skills in 15 appearances and netting two goals, to the current season, where he’s flagrantly appeared in nine matches and scored an equal number of goals. Dare we claim that our man Ross is on a roll?
Yet, life wasn’t always the glamour of Dundee United. No, not at all! In January 2020, Ross found himself transferred from Dundee United to Elgin City. A stint that lasted all but a few months before he scarpered back home to Dundee United in June 2020. The League Two clearly wasn’t impressive enough for his refined tastes.
Surely Dundee was home and that would be that? Hold that thought, because in October 2020 he was whisked away to Cove Rangers. I bet you didn't see that one coming! But our boy's a homebird, and by January 2021, he was back playing in the Scottish Premiership with Dundee United.
Aye, you think that's it, don’t you? But hang on to your kilts! For, in March 2021, he once again graced the field at Cove Rangers. It's a veritable Ross-Coaster of football! Yet Dundee was still beckoning and Ross returned home in June 2021. Must have missed the Dundee cakes, I wager.
Seems he had developed a taste for change, for in July 2021, he moved to Dunfermline Athletic. But ask yourself, could anywhere be home but Dundee for Ross? Displaying a loyalty undeterred by winds of change, he was back in Dundee by January 2022. And that, my friends, is the thriller titled ‘The Life and Times of Ross Graham’!
