About Graham Kelly (football administrator)

  • Graham Kelly (born 23 December 1945) is an English football administrator.
  • He was secretary of The Football League from 1978 to 1989 and chief executive of The Football Association (FA) from 1989 to 1998.
  • In December 1998, he resigned from the FA, along with chairman Keith Wiseman, when a scandal broke out over an allegedly improper loan of £3.2 million, from the FA to the Football Association of Wales (FAW).It was alleged that the loan was intended to buy the FAW's support for Wiseman's election as a vice president for FIFA, which would in turn help England's unsuccessful bid to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which went to Germany.
  • In February 1999, after FIFA conducted an investigation, Kelly and Wiseman were subsequently cleared of wrongdoing.
