Thomas Graham (born 31 March 1958) is a Scottish former professional footballer who made 398 appearances in the Football League and 1 in the Scottish League. A forward or midfielder, he played league football for Barnsley, Halifax Town, Doncaster Rovers, Motherwell, Scunthorpe United and Scarborough.
Graham began his football career with Arthurlie before moving to England where, after a brief spell with Aston Villa, he signed for Barnsley in late 1978 for a £25,000 fee. In his first 13 games, playing at centre forward, he scored 11 goals. Graham played 38 League matches in his two years with Barnsley, and scored 18 goals, before moving on to Halifax Town in October 1980 for £20,000. He played regularly for Halifax until the club's financial problems forced them to release a number of players, Graham included, at the end of the 1981–82 season.
After a few months with Doncaster Rovers, which included a goal in their 7–5 defeat of Reading, and a spell back in his native Scotland, where he played once for Motherwell, Graham signed for Scunthorpe United in March 1983. To clinch promotion to the Third Division on the last day of that season, Scunthorpe needed to win at Chester and rely on Bury failing to beat Wimbledon. Bury lost, and Graham scored twice as Scunthorpe won 2–1 in a match held up for 11 minutes by fans fighting. Over the next three years Graham played regularly, and finished his Scunthorpe career with 21 goals from 109 League matches.
