Book Description

Before there was artificial turf on the field-before Monday Night Football and the corporate culture that swallowed the game-there were players playing simply for love of the sport, and they were dedicated to making a name for their team, despite any and all odds. Last Kings of the Old NFL carries readers back to the golden age of football to follow the Minnesota Vikings' rise from last place to titans of the league in the two years from 1967 to 1969. From the team's struggles without a head coach, a quarterback, or direction to the acquisitions and lineups that were their saving grace, it chronicles the 1969 season that launched the Vikings into a Homeric journey of amazing triumphs and unfortunate finishes over the next thirteen years. A must-read for serious football fans, especially those who cheer for the purple and gold, Last Kings of the Old NFL captures the essence of a bygone era and tells an inspiring story about one team's swift rise to the top. Full of information gleaned from interviews with members of the 1969 Vikings, opponents, coaches, and other expert sources, it's sure to entertain and enlighten anyone interested in learning more about the history of America's most beloved sport.
