December 17, 2018

Seven Sharp met with Karl Johnson who cares for Seddon Park and Waikato Stadium.

Karl Johnson is the groundsman who looks after two of New Zealand’s most beloved sporting turfs.

Seddon Park and Waikato Stadium are "KJ’s" babies.

He's spent 15 years in charge of these grounds, making him a local legend.

It's a job where he's travelled the world and met his wife, but it's not all sunshine and daisies.

He and his dedicated team spend months getting these grounds up to international standard.
