Russ Allison [the third, I suspect]
Russ #1 was on the grounds-staff in the early 1920s
Russ #2 was on the grounds-staff from [est 1949] until the 1980s
And now Russ #3 retires.
A family that has held the same role, for a single employer, for over 100 years.
Very, very rare, and probably unique in the football world.
