'Daniel Anthony William "Danny" Graham' (born
August 12,
1985 in
Gateshead,
England) is an
English footballer, currently playing for

Darlington, then his team, were told they could only take him on loan from October
2004 onwards, so instead he moved to Middlesbrough, where he was a substitute in all eleven games he played.

Derby County on loan between November
2005 and February
2006, he failed to score a single goal in his time at Pride Park. He is a former England Under-20 international with an eye for goal.
