| Right you have established that Keith Hudson was the fourth & last groundsman at Tattersfield.
So what was the name of the third groundsman?
Here is a clue
Think of the name of a river & the name & description of a type of ladies clothing

It was a very well known fish & chip shop in Doncaster situated at the far end of Copley Rd at the junction with Milbanke St the shop is now a chinese takeaway called The Taste of China.
A Yorkshire RAF Station as a similar name to the owner of the fish & chip shop.

The rodent was a Lemming
The Yorkshire RAF Station is RAF Leeming
The Doncaster Fish & Chip Shop was Johnny Leemans
The Raincoat was a mack
The answer is Arthur McLeman who was the second groundsman to be employed at Tattersfield
So we can move on I will give you the answer to the first groundsman to be employed at Tatterfield
It was Bob McCann

Have a stab at the name of the Welsh Rugby Union player who signed for the Dons for a fee of £1000 & only played three games before being transferred for a fee of £6000.
