Graham Rodger

Graham Rodger

Graham made his League debut for Wolves but due to the financial problems at Molineux was allowed to move to Coventry in February 1984.

At Highfield Road, Graham had difficulty in breaking the central defensive partnership of Brian Kilcline and Trevor Peake but he did manage to win an F.A Cup winners medal there coming on as substitute as the Sky Blues beat Tottenham in the 1987 final.

In order to gain a regular first team place, Graham accepted a tribunal set £200,000 move to Luton in 1989 which turned out to be a disaster. A succession of injuries severely cut back his appearances and he was probably glad when Grimsby rescued him from his nightmare in 1992.

With the Mariners, Graham enjoyed a far more injury free playing career and was subsequently appointed coach and then manager at the club. Graham stepped down and became chief scout at Blundell Park.
