Fan Since

I became a Vikings fan in the UK around 3-4 years ago

Favourite All Time Player

At the time I was pondering on what team was really for me and which spoke to me the most. I had a friend (one from Minnesota) who told me all about the Vikings, such as their history, legendary players like Randy Moss and Cris Carter, who I consider great role models for the success they had; that’s just to name a few players. 

Have You Attended Any Games Stateside?

Not yet but I am so excited to visit US Bank Stadium and take part in the Skol Chant with the fans. The second I get the opportunity I am over there watching them at the stadium.

Have You Attended Any Games in London?

I was desperate to see Vikings in the flesh and watch them play. Luckily this year they were in London. I had the amazing opportunity to go and watch them thanks to the amazing Community we have over here. To see Justin Jefferson, Adam Theilen, Kirk Cousins, KJ Osborn, Dalvin Cook, Za’darius Smith and Danielle Hunter in person was absolutely unforgettable.

So Why the Vikings?

I was always a great fan of the Vikings of Scandinavia. My family lineage dates back to Scandinavia so to be a Vikings fan was in my DNA. My Father was a big American Football fan as well which was embedded in me at an early age. The fans I have met of this great Club have been some of the most passionate and kind-hearted out there. The UK and Ireland Minnesota Vikings Fan Club always reaches out to their fans, especially over here in the UK and I truly appreciate it.

When choosing the vikings, I invested my time into learning their history, players and traditions. The Skol Chant and Gjallarhorn always gives me goosebumps, it excites so much and builds up hype.

Where Do You Watch the Games?

Every game I watch, I watch in my Fan Cave where I have decorated it in Vikings memorabilia.
