Statement from Campey Turf Care Systems: Richard Campey and everyone at Campey Turf Care Systems are deeply saddened by the news that Arsenal FC Head Groundsman Steve Braddock has passed away.
Richard said “I have known Steve a very long time, after we met at London Colney. He became a close friend, and we shared the same drive and interest in maintaining natural surfaces for sport. Steve was always willing to try out new methods and machinery ahead of their time. You always knew where you stood with him. He was a true gentleman and never wavered in the pursuit of perfection for his sports pitches and was an advocate for the highest standards for the industry as a whole. He will be greatly missed.
Statement from Campey Turf Care Systems
We send our sincere condolences to Steve’s wife Shuk, their daughters Jasmine and Lily, and all Steve’s family and friends.”
