William Valentine Graham (born 14 February 1959) is a Northern Irish retired professional footballer who played as a midfielder in the Football League for Brentford.
After spells at Northampton Town and Stewarts & Lloyds Corby, Graham signed on trial for Fourth Division club Brentford in August 1977.[1] He quickly established himself in the first team, signing a professional contract and making 32 appearances and scoring two goals during the 1977–78 season, helping the Bees to a fourth-place finish and promotion to the Third Division.[2] Despite signing a new long-term contract, Graham's appearances tailed off in the Third Division and he departed the club in February 1981, having made 51 appearances and scored three goals for the Bees.[3]
Graham dropped into non-League football after leaving Brentford, joining Southern League South Division club Hillingdon Borough during the 1980–81 season. He later had spells at Bracknell Town, Camberley Town and Sandhurst Town.
