Roy Winston Takes Down Leroy Kelly

Fran Tarkenton throws pass against Miami Dolphins in 1976 at the Orange Bowl. Last regular season game of the 1976 season. The Vikings won 29-7

Minnesota Fullback Bill Brown. Bill played for the Vikings from 1962 - 1974. The first photo is Bill playing against the Packers and getting the ball from Joe Kapp in 1969. The 2nd photo is from the Kansas City Chiefs game in 1970. #63 is Chiefs linebacker Willie Lanier. The Topps football card is from 1970. Drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1961, Bill was traded to the Vikings in 1962. By the end of his career, he was the Vikings leading career ground gainer. He was tough as nails and dished out as much punishment as he got. Butkas and Nitchke both said he was the toughest running back they faced. He was also an excellent pass receiver for Fran Tarkenton and Joe Kapp. Bill passed away in 2018 at age 80.

#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.

Chuck Foreman

Fran Tarkenton speaking with Head Coach Norm Van Brocklin. I think listening in was Offensive Line coach Walt Yowarsky. I am not sure of the year but I think it was 1961 or 1962.

#44 Chuck Foreman going up and over the St. Louis Cardinals for a touchdown in a 1974 playoff game. That is #41 Dave Osborn helping with the blocking.
