Graham was also a leading Australian rules footballer, playing for Melbourne Football Club, firstly in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), where he was runner-up in the goal kicking in 1892 with 42 goals, before making a comeback in 1900 when he played two games with Melbourne in the new Victorian Football League (VFL).
Eleven weeks past his 40th birthday, Harry Graham died in Seacliff, a small village in the Otago region of New Zealand's South Island.
Famous quotes containing the words harry and/or graham:
“People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“Billy, in one of his nice new sashes,
Fell in the fire and was burnt to ashes;”
—Harry Graham (1874–1936)
