This photo is from the Vikings first 1971 pre-season game between the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings. It was held at Memorial Stadium...home at that time to the Big Ten Minnesota Gophers. #41 Dave Osborn goes up and over. #73 is Viking tackle Ron Yary. At the bottom of the pile is #64 guard Milt Sunde. #53 is Viking center Mick Tingelhoff. Yary and Tingelhoff are in the Hall of Fame. #87 for the Vikings at the far left is tightend John Beasley.

The "Purple People Eaters" or The "Purple Gang" Marshall, Larson, Ellen and Page.

A good book to read.  Jim Klobuchar and Fran did a great job writing this book.  

Captain Jim Marshall and HOF’er Alan Page.   I think this game may have been  the 1973 NFC Championship.
