Colin Graham (born 26 January 1958) is a former Australian rules footballer from South Australia, who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Colin Graham was born on 26 January 1958[1] in South Australia, the son of Cecil Graham.[2]
His grandfather was SANFL player Cecil Graham, his brothers are SANFL footballers Phil and Brenton (who had to retire early owing to a knee injury), and his uncle is Michael Graham, also an SANFL player.[2] Through Cecil, they are all descendants of Kudnarto, a Kaurna woman famous for having made legal history by being the first Aboriginal Australian woman to marry a European settler in the colony of South Australia in 1848.[3]
Graham first played with Penola in Penola, South Australia,[4] before joining Kyabram Football Club in Victoria.[2]
He then transferred to with Melbourne FC, a VFL team.[5] He played 35 games, kicking 32 goals between 1975 and 1978.[2]
He was also a member of the 1983 Indigenous All-Stars team, along with brother Phil and uncle, Michael.[6]
Graham had a car accident which necessitated a year of rehabilitation that included having to play a helmet. After returning to SA, he played a season with Sturt Football Club in 1985, playing 15 SANFL games.[2]
