Graham Smith showed up in shorts, a Bills T-shirt and light coat for a recent tour of Buffalo City Hall with Explore Buffalo, a wardrobe choice inspired by his maiden voyage from England to the City of Good Neighbors in the 1990s. Back then, he was visiting to see his first NFL game, a late-season tilt between the Bills and New York Jets. A pair of fans from the home team learned where he was from, gave him blankets and took him home for dinner.
