Aye, trouble yourself not with thoughts of grandeur or titles being thrown around when you consider the footballing journey of Ross Graham, born on a freezing 20 February 2001. This Scotsman earns his bread - or barley porridge for that matter, as a defender, sticking primarily to the heart of the defence line for Dundee United. His height doesn't just barely scrape the doorframe, he stands tall at a hefty 6ft 4in (1.94m) and tips the scales at a solid 12st 12lb (82kg). And, just to make it easy on the onlookers, he’s got the number 6 slapped on his back.
Now, the market has a somewhat dubious evaluation of the lad. It’s a mere half a million euros (£423.5k), rounded rather unsympathetically to the closest half a million, I might add – according to these Transfermarkt folks that is.
Roaming the grounds of the Premiership in Scotland, Graham decided to pack his bags in July 2017, joining Dundee United from the trainee ranks. Since then, he’s clocked up several appearances, even chipped in with a few goals across the seasons, bless him. From his debut in 2021 - 2022 where he made 15 appearances, trousered two goals, to the current 2025 - 2026 season where he managed six appearances in the league. Not exactly Djinkin' Dalglish, but perhaps more than most of us can claim.
They say school is always out somewhere, eh? Well, in January 2020, Graham ventured forth on loan from Dundee United to the scenic pastures of Elgin City, nestled in the bosom of League Two in Scotland. But wait, there's more. Not one to stay content with the tranquil life, he packed his bags yet again in October 2020, making a dash for Cove Rangers in League One, again on loan - something of a rolling stone, our Graham. Dunking potted haggis twice a day in the Cove training grounds clearly was not enough, for a second pilgrimage to Cove was made in March 2021. His travelling boots really got the wear, didn't they
We're not yet done gallivanting around the lower leagues of Scotland though; July 2021 saw Graham shipped off on loan to Dunfermline Athletic in the Championship. Most of us would have been lucky to see the inside of so many pie shops. Seems Graham's been there, done that, and sent the postcard. Do tip your hat to the lad. Also, word to the wise, his postcard collection is second to none.
