My great uncle was a greens keeper for a cricket ground during the 60s, 70s and 80s. What would his job have been? Would it be like a gardener? |

They may do but I know nothing about cricket. Thank you for explaining it to me. My Great uncle was lucky he was given a house that went with the job. |
