Graham George Coldrick (born 6 November 1945 in Newport) is a Welsh former professional footballer.
Career
Coldrick began his career at Cardiff City. A defender by trade, he made his league debut for the Bluebirds as a makeshift forward in 1963 before reverting to defence. Throughout his stay at Ninian Park he was constantly troubled by knee injuries and he eventually lost his place in the side to the on form full back pairing of David Carver and Gary Bell. He was allowed to leave the club in 1970 to join Newport County, a club record for them at the time. He was quick to establish himself in the first team for the Somerton Park club and went on to play there for five years before joining Merthyr Tydfil.
