Product Description
They started play as an expansion team in 1961, and within a decade, the Minnesota Vikings were among the NFL’s elite---and most popular---franchises. From the formative years under Norm Van Brocklin to the Super Bowl squads of Bud Grant, to the ups and downs under Jerry Burns and Dennis Green, Minnesota’s football team has had its share of dramatic triumphs and heart-wrenching defeats. Through it all, the fans have come out in droves to cheer on the Vikes, whether in the cold winter air at Metropolitan Stadium or the hyper-loud surroundings of the Metrodome. Lavishly illustrated and featuring all the key moments, stats, and people behind the stories, Minnesota Vikings: The Complete Illustrated History is the ultimate celebration of an iconic football franchise. It honors the great squads and all the legends and colorful characters who have donned the purple and gold, including Fran Tarkenton, the “Purple People Eaters,” Chuck Foreman, Ahmad Rashad, Randall McDaniel, John Randle, Cris Carter, Anthony Carter, Robert Smith, Randy Moss, and more. Written by one the state’s most revered sports columnists, this is a book that no Vikings fan should be without.

Painfully Beautiful September 19, 2008
Bernie Gold (Houston, TX USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Being a Vikings fan is a painful existence. This book is very well done and captures the highs and lows, from the team's beginning all the way through Adrian Peterson. Tons of great photos never before seen, Reusse writes that many of them were discovered in yellowed envelopes the old drawers of the Minnesota newspapers. It's all there... Joe Kapp, Purple People Eaters, Fran, Bud, Les, Burnsie, The Sheriff, Randy, Cris, A.C., Matt Blair, Drew Pearson-- WHAT?!!! DREW PEARSON!!!!!!!!! In the words of Nancy Kerrigan, "WHYYYYYYYYYYYY????!!!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! Great book. A must of all of us who bleed purple and have put the time in. Every Viking fan needs one of these. Super.
