Jim Marshall Trying To Sack Sonny Jurgensen In 1968 Game At The Met

Dave Osborn against the LA Rams in 1969 playoff game

Vikings Coach Bud Grant. I loved those old "Pro" game day programs. Plus they made a really good season review/preview that could be bought at the newsstands.

#88 Alan Page is one of the all time great defensive tackles in NFL history.

From the 1969 NFL Championship game between the Vikings and Browns. #11 Joe Kapp hands off to #41 Dave Osborn. #63 is Viking left guard Jim Vellone. #67 at far left is Viking left tackle Grady Alderman. #64 is Viking right guard Milt Sunde.

#29 Karl Kassulke played safety for the Minnesota Vikings from 1963 through 1972. Karl was a hitter. The first photo is Karl in Super Bowl IV against KC Chiefs tackling running back Mike Garrett. The second photo is at the Vikings Colts Monday night game in 1971. If you get the chance, YouTube the November 15, 1970 game or highlights between the Vikings and the Detroit Lions. He destroyed Lions QB Greg Landry on a safety blitz. Laid him out. It looked like Landry had been shot. Karl was in a motorcycle accident the day before training camp started in 1973 which paralyzed him and ended his career. The 4th photo is Karl in a wheelchair at the Chicago Bears game in 1973 in which the Vikings honored Karl. Former Viking QB Joe Kapp is standing beside Karl as he speaks into a mic in the last photo. Karl passed away in 2008.

Minnesota Vikings running back #20 Tommy Mason running against the Baltimore Colts. Palmer Pyle #69 and #67 Grady Alderman are blocking....Larry Bowie #61 is laying on the ground. #40 for the Colts is Bobby Boyd. #55 for the Colts is linebacker Jackie Burkett.

Minnesota Viking Middle Linebacker Lonnie Warwick passed away on October 28, 2024. Lonnie played during the era of Butkus, Nitschke, and Lucci. Drafted by the Vikings in 1965, he played with the Vikings through 1972. He finished his career with the Atlanta Falcons and his first head coach Norm Van Brocklin in 1973 and 1974. He was one rough and tough man. Injuries slowed Lonnie in 1972 opening up the Middle Linebacker position to 1972 Vikings 1st round draft choice Jeff Siemon. RIP Lonnie. A Viking forever!
