Allan McGraw Obituary

Allan McGraw is a Scottish football player and manager, most associated with Greenock Morton.

McGraw started his playing career with Greenock Morton. Playing in Division Two he set a Scottish record for the most goals he scored in a season. He finished as Morton’s top goalscorer in five consecutive seasons and appeared in the 1963 League Cup final.

McGraw left Morton for Hibernian, where he scored a goal which meant that the club reached the 1969 League Cup final.

He took several pain-killing injections to play while injured. This ruined his knees, causing great pain and necessitating the use of walking sticks for the rest of his life. He later played for Linfield for one season and spent a season back at Morton without appearing in a league match.

Allan McGraw died on March 1, 2023, at the age of 83. The cause of his death is unknown.
