Graham qualified as a referee in 1987 and progressed through the ranks to become a National List referee in 1995 after which he enjoyed seven full seasons on what was then the Nationwide League and is now The Championship.

During that time Graham refereed around 200 games in all divisions, as well as operating as fourth official in Premier League games, mainly at St James Park and The Stadium of Light.

Due to the introduction of full time officials and increasing business committments running a Middlesbrough based company, Graham resigned from the list in September 2002.

In the main Graham thoroughly enjoyed his time on the list and gathered vast experience of officiating at the top level of English Football. He now spends most of his spare time either watching Boro at home and abroad, playing golf or following his interest in horse racing as an owner.



If you have a question for Graham, perhaps about a dubious recent refereeing decision, something that happened during his own football career or about football or reffing in general, then please write in straight away.

Graham's answers will be published every week on this page with the first edition now just a few days away.
