During the 1960s, Graver coached Lincoln City's youth team. He worked for a finance company in the Lincoln area for 30 years, and lived locally after retiring. Graver and 1950s teammate Tony Emery were the first two former players admitted to the club's Hall of Fame in May 1996. In 2006, Graver topped the poll as Lincoln fans voted for "100 League Legends" as part of the celebrations of the club's 100th season in the Football League. The following year, to mark the centenary of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), supporters were asked to vote for their club's all-time favourite player; Graver was again the Lincoln City choice.
