Ross Graham, gadzooks! Born on 20 February 2001, in a place not unacquainted with a haggis supper, Scotland. Currently, he finds himself defending the sovereignty of Dundee United’s goal mouth with aplomb, majorly channelling his defensive prowess to the centre—central defender, if you prefer the footballer's jargon. He stands at an impressive 6ft 4in (1.94m), and tips the scales at 12st 12lb (82kg). The gentleman sports the jersey number 6, in case there was any lingering curiosity.
With a market value that would make a modest Scotsman blush, he’s currently tagged at about €600k (£507,000, for those who like their numbers wrapped in the Union Jack), according to Transfermarkt. Jeez, football and finance blend like Irn-Bru and a deep-fried Mars bar. His contract with Dundee United is a ticking time bomb set to explode on 31 May 2026, with just 1 year and 2 months left on the dial.
Now let’s saunter down memory lane, shall we? Back in the balmy days of July 2017, Graham joined Dundee United as a young, bright-eyed trainee. Fast forward to the season of 2021 - 2022, and the lad managed to scrounge 15 first team appearances and defied the odds to notch up two goals, in league matches no less. At this point, leaders in match commentary started remembering his name.
The following seasons only saw an uphill trend in performances, with consistent 15 appearances every season and a knack for finding the net, though with varying degrees of success, depending on which year you're looking at. This ever-constant endeavour was rudely interrupted by a few loan transfers.
In a twist that shocked nobody, young Ross was sent on loan, like Scottish drizzle in July. First up, a jaunt down to Elgin City in January 2020, only to hop back to Dundee United in June 2020. Following this, he spent a three-month stint with Cove Rangers beginning October 2020, followed by an encore in March 2021 post a sojourn in Dundee. As the wheel of the football season turned, July 2021 found him starting a new loan chapter with Dunfermline Athletic, returning back to Dundee United in January 2022, faster than you can say 'ye canny shove yer granny aff a bus'.
Apart from his exploits with these sundry clubs, Ross, rising like the loch-ness monster, made a splash in the League Cup 2024 - 2025, where he scored once in his six starts for Dundee United, and in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025, where he made one start. You have to admire his tenacity, don't you? I mean, if nothing else.
