Arthur Graham features at number 48 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.

After only a handful of Scottish League appearances, Graham won a Scottish FA Cup medal with Aberdeen against Celtic in 1970, when he was 17. He joined Leeds in July 1977 and within months won the first of his 10 Scottish caps. A direct winger, he netted three hat-tricks for Leeds, including a quick-fire effort at Birmingham in January 1978. After United slumped, he stayed on one more season before a surprise transfer to Manchester United in 1983. He made 259 appearances scoring 47 goals, including 3 goals in 3 European appearances.
