Graham was born in Selkirk and educated at Kelso High School.[2]
A Kelso farmer, Graham played his rugby as a wing-forward. He was the first Scotland international to come out of Kelso RFC and played for his country from 1926 to 1932, gaining a total of 15 caps. His early matches were as part of an all-Border back row, beside Hawick RFC players Doug Davies and Willie Welsh.
