I am stunned at reading of Graham's passing. I knew him and his family all of my life. We were like family. I travelled and lived overseas from the late 70's and re connected with Graham 10 years ago during a visit home. This news leaves me shocked and saddened. It's like losing a brother.

Very sad news, our thoughts are with the Caton family. RIP Graham a true football man, and a gentleman also.

such a sad day graham was a true gent, knew him for years nobody had a bad word for the man. sadly missed by all. rip graham

Very sad news,RIP Graham,A true local football legend my thoughts are with the Caton family.

I used to go into Silica Discs all the time in the late 90's and Graham was so nice. He would always try to create a very friendly atmosphere in the shop and was always happy to talk about anything that was going on. He was a great guy and he will be missed.

Like the comment below, I only knew of Graham through Silica Discs - used to spend a lot of time in there as a teenager chatting about music and football with him. Got into so many great bands by buying cassettes and then CDs from his shop.

Really nice bloke, he'll be missed

RIP

I only ever knew Graham through his music shops. It seems he has done a lot for sport that I never even knew about... The guy was a beautiful person and will be an enormous miss. He turned me on to so much great music... Thanks buddy. R.I.P..

Very sad news, my first memories of Graham were as a teenage lad when I hitched a lift with Graham and Neil to Goodison back in the 80's, we were later to become founder members of the Cumberland branch of Everton Supporters Club and travelled all over the country together. A true Evertonian and gentleman, RIP
