Ray Graves' former players gather to remember their coach
Ray Graves recieves a game ball from Steve Spurrier after the Gators beat South Carolina, November, 16. With this win Spurrier passes Graves to become the all time winningest Gator football coach with 71 victories. Spurrier thanked Graves for recruiting him to Florida and not allowing him to go to one of those northern schools. The Gainesville Sun
Ray Graves always affectionately referred to the players who played football for him at Florida as his boys, even after they’d grown into aging, graying men in their 60s and 70s.
