Rudolph "Spider" Edwards is a name not a lot of Celtics' fans today may remember. He never scored a basket or coached a game but for 33 years he was a fixture at Boston Garden sweeping the famed parquet floor. Known as much for his flair in pushing the broom as for his green Celtics jacket and fedora, Edwards was a staple in Boston and took as much pride in his job as the Celtics' players did in theirs.
Originally from South Philly he came up to Boston with a love for the Celtics and the Boston Braves.
