Graham was a reserve team player at Grantham Town under Martin O’Neill and also played for Harrowby United and Bourne Town.

He began his managerial career with Sunday side Harrowby Athletic and in seven years with them he won a total of sixteen trophies. He also led Bottesford to promotion in the Notts Alliance before having a successful four-year stint with Harrowby United in the United Counties League.

During his time with the Arrows he steered them into the Premier Division for the first time in their history. Graham was appointed manager of Stamford in May, 2005 and in his first season with the Daniels he led them to promotion to the Southern League Premier Division via the Division One play-offs.

In 2006/07 Stamford finished in a creditable eighth position in the Premier Division but his team building plans for the 2007/08 campaign were thrown into disarray when the club was switched to the Unibond League. After a difficult start Stamford got to grips with their new surroundings and they were ninth in the table when Graham and his assistant Paul Holden switched to Corby Town in January 2008. 

Following his arrival he lifted the Steelmen out of the relegation zone in 2007/08 and after rebuilding the team he led Corby to the Southern League Premier Division championship in 2008/09. 

In their first season in the Blue Square Bet North Drury's side narrowly missed out on a play-off spot, finishing sixth. 

The 2010/11 season seemed full of promise, however despite a promising start off-field events evetually led to the squad being dismantled and Corby finishing the season in 13th.

The season will still be remembered fondly however, as Drury led the Steelmen to the First Round Proper of the FA Cup for the first time in decades, where they took Luton Town to a replay, before losing at Kenilworth Road. 

Drury signed a new 12-month contract with Corby Town in April 2011.
