Arthur Graham (born 26 October 1952) is a former Scottish professional footballer who played for Aberdeen, Leeds United, Manchester United, Bradford City and the Scotland national team. He played as a left winger. His brother Jimmy Graham was also a footballer.
Graham was born and raised in the Castlemilk district of Glasgow. One of 11 siblings, he attended St Margaret Mary's Secondary School and supported Celtic as a child.
After a short spell in the Junior grade with Cambuslang Rangers (combined with working in the nearby steel works), in 1970 he was signed by Aberdeen and played in five league matches during his first season with the club. Despite his inexperience, he was given a place in the starting line-up for the 1970 Scottish Cup Final by manager Eddie Turnbull. Aberdeen defeated Celtic 3–1 with 17-year-old Graham making two assists via left-wing crosses. He remained at Aberdeen until July 1977, winning the Scottish League Cup in his final season (again beating Celtic in the final). He played a total of 298 matches for The Dons, scoring 45 goals.
