GRAHAM KELLY (FOOTBALL)

'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.
