Jim Marshall, Alan Page, Gary Larson, Carl Eller....the Purple People Eaters.

Carl Eller at the Met against the Chicago Bears....sometime in the 70′s

Minnesota Vikings waiting to go back in.   #70 Jim Marshall, #88 Alan Page, #81 Carl Eller and #20 Bobby Bryant  

1975 - Chuck Foreman against the Buffalo Bills.  Ed White and Fran Tarkenton in the background.

Minnesota Viking running back Dave Osborn #41. I think this is from a Monday Night Football game in 1974 against the St. Louis Cardinals...at old Busch Stadium.

#20 Viking Cornerback Bobby Bryant intercepting a pass late in the 4th quarter of the 1976 NFC championship game against the LA Rams. The receiver for the Rams was Ron Jessie. #43 Viking cornerback Nate Wright is watching. Rams QB Pat Hayden threw the pass. Bobby Bryant left his coverage and ran to the middle of the field to intercept the pass. Jessie had beaten Nate Wright so Bryant really saved the day. The Vikings were ahead 17-13 when Bryant made the interception and won the game 24-13.

Joe Kapp hurdles LA Ram Cornerback Jim Nettles to score winning TD in 1969 playoff game.

1969 - Purple People Eaters

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