So why the Vikings?

Watching football is in my blood; I grew up in Minnesota and my mom is the huge fan in my family, along with my brother and my dad. I’ve passed my love for the sport and this team to my son, Jonathan who is also a UK Vikings fan club member.

 

Any special Vikings memories?

I married my husband in 1998 and moved to the UK then. We celebrated our first anniversary in a pub in Norfolk watching the Vikings in the NFC championship game!

 

Favourite player?

I was aware of Fran Tarkenton and the amazing QB he was, although he finished before I was born. My earliest memories of the favored QB is Tommy Kramer. I was a big fan of AP (all day) before some of the controversy and then Diggs before he left for the Bills. I remain loyal to Thielen, although one close to me says he’s old now. Of course JJ is amazing and I still believe in Cousins.

 

Favourite Vikings 22-23 season moment?

Favourite moment this season has to be the 4th and 18 catch from JJ during the game with the Bills. Unreal! Heart attacks, despair, joy and disbelief. This season has had it all.  So sorry it’s ended with One and Done but it’s been a fun ride with our new head coach.
