Steve Smith Eccles said there are not enough words to do Bradley justice, calling him outstanding and stunning on a horse.

He added that there will never be another Graham Bradley.

Mark Dwyer, a fellow Gold Cup winner, recalled their daily battles as rivals in the north of England.

He praised Bradley's horsemanship and his ability to judge a horse.

Peter Niven described Bradley's final years as heartbreaking, but highlighted his generosity and passion for racing.

Amanda Bradley organized a final nostalgic journey for her husband through the Injured Jockey's Fund in 2024. The trip helped jog some memories, though detailed recollections remained elusive.

She said Bradley loved riding in Ireland and was an honorary Irishman. She noted that protective gear in the 1980s and 1990s was not up to modern standards.

Bradley had previously said he was a 'good faller' and that's why he avoided many injuries. But the cumulative trauma eventually took its toll.
