Colin Graham (born 26 January 1958) is a former Australian rules footballer from South Australia, who played with Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Colin Graham was born on 26 January 1958[1] in South Australia, the son of Cecil Graham.[2]
His grandfather was SANFL player Cecil Graham, his brothers are SANFL footballers Phil and Brenton (who had to retire early owing to a knee injury), and his uncle is Michael Graham, also an SANFL player.[2] Through Cecil, they are all descendants of Kudnarto, a Kaurna woman famous for having made legal history by being the first Aboriginal Australian woman to marry a European settler in the colony of South Australia in 1848.[3]
