Graham Bailey was born in Shropshire on 22 March 1920 and by the time he was 16, he’d signed on the ground staff at Huddersfield Town on 10 August 1936. As with so many Town players, and footballers in general, the breakout of the Second World War saw a lot of careers put on hold.

In this day, don’t forget you never gave up, remember how you faced every battle, and know-how proud I am to be your friend. Happy birthday!

May you have a fantastic birthday and many more to come. Graham added: “They did tell me I was the oldest one not long ago. I still think about all the lads at Town and until recently, didn’t realise I was the last one”.
He was ever-present in the side for the following season, playing all 45 games as Town won the Football League North Championship in 1944/45. Although the War came to an end in May 1945, the Football League continued with the Wartime League as they felt they didn’t have enough time to organise a proper League season. Graham was almost ever-present once again, playing 41 out of 42 games as Town finished 15th in The Football League, he also played both games in the FA Cup which returned for 1945/46.

In 1949, Graham retired from the game and went into a common profession for footballers at the time:

Despite playing in the first team for the majority of the Second World War, Graham only featured for Town in The Football League for one season, playing 33 games during 1946/47. In December 1946, Town travelled to Copenhagen on a trip as Graham remembers:
Town actually played a game during their time in Denmark, against a Copenhagen Combination side although their preparation left a lot to be desired; “We actually played a game in Copenhagen but they took us to a brewery beforehand! I remember saying to Ken Willingham “don’t breathe on me!”, it was funny”. For anyone wondering, Town drew the game 2-2 with Jim Glazzard and Arnold Rodgers getting on the scoresheet.
