DESCRIPTION
Original January 2, 1974 Associated Press wirephoto showing Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Carroll Dale with his family at their Bloomington, Minnesota home, decorating their Christmas tree on New Year’s Day. Measures approximately 7 x 9 inches.
The original AP caption identifies Dale’s wife Pat, daughter Vicki, 14, son Barry, 12, and daughter Valerie, 4. The caption is headed “SEASON’S END” and notes that the Vikings were preparing to play the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VIII on January 13, 1974.
This is an especially interesting Carroll Dale image because it captures the veteran receiver away from the field immediately before the final game of his NFL career. Dale had joined Minnesota for the 1973 season after eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers. NFL records confirm that he played 13 regular-season games for Minnesota in 1973, and he was in the Vikings lineup for Super Bowl VIII. He previously won three NFL championships with Green Bay, including the first two Super Bowls, and was a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
Super Bowl VIII was played January 13, 1974, at Rice Stadium in Houston, where Minnesota lost to Miami 24–7. Dale is listed as Minnesota\'s No. 84 wide receiver in the game lineup.
A strong NFL / Minnesota Vikings / Green Bay Packers / Super Bowl / Carroll Dale / AP wirephoto collectible, with the family Christmas scene giving it considerably more character than a standard game-action photograph.
