I wrote to the EFL two years ago about Graham. Asking if they could confirm if he's the oldest living player, and if he is, could they do something to mark that. I never had a reply, sadly. I spoke with Graham last week and we spoke about his old teams, Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United. He's still very interested in following their fortunes on TV.

I visited Graham Bailey a couple of weeks ago. He was on good form but is worried about Huddersfield Town's plight this season!

Graham Bailey celebrated his 103rd birthday last Wednesday.

So William Simpson and Jim Smith are no longer with us?

Happy to report that I went to see Graham Bailey today, he was recalling stories from his time at Huddersfield Town between 1936 and 1948. Fascinating and he's still in good health at 102 years old. He's definitely my club's oldest living player, am I right in thinking he's the oldest living Football League player as well?

Graham Bailey will be 102 tomorrow, is he the oldest known living Football League player now?

Graham Bailey served in WW2.

Happy to let you all know that Graham Bailey is still alive and well. I went to visit him this afternoon and he's in great health.

That was my article Alex Jackson, former York City and Huddersfield Town player, sadly passed away in 2010 whilst living in Australia.

Are you certain on this? I contacted that Graham Bailey last week and have today received a reply confirming it's not the same one?

Not him I'm afraid, I wrote to that Graham Bailey last week and received a reply, it's not the same one.

Graham Bailey does seem to still be alive, or he was last year but he's not at that address in Truro that you mentioned. I wrote to that Graham Bailey and have heard back today and it's not the same one. Do you have any more info on him by any chance?
