Graham Kelly (football)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graham Kelly is an English football administrator. He was Secretary of the Football League (1978–1989) and Chief executive of the Football Association from 1989 to 1998.
He resigned, along with FA chairman Keith Wiseman, when a scandal broke out over an allegedly improper £3.2 million loan from the FA to the Football Association of Wales. It was alleged that the loan was intended to buy the FAW's support for Wiseman's election as a FIFA vice-president, which would in turn help England's bid to host the 2006 World Cup finals. Kelly and Wiseman were subsequently cleared of wrongdoing after a FIFA investigation.
