Sally B asked in SportsFootball (American) · 1 decade ago

Are there others here that remember Wally Hilgenberg?

I was saddened today to read that Wally Hilgenberg, #58 for the Minnesota Vikings back in the glory days of the 70's had died. I knew he had ALS but who knew he would be gone so quickly. He was a great guy, always had time for a kid looking for an autograph. His smile was infectious and he was our son's favorite Viking. Sad day.

    Yes, as a 40 year Bear fan, I remember him well. Jay Hilgenberg played for the Bears. I didn't know he was sick. He was a great one. R.I.P.

    I remembetr him as a good LB for the Vikes. But since I am not a Vikings fan, that's about all I remember about him. His passing, like any others, sorrows me.

    Sorry to hear that. Was he any relation to Jay Hilgenberg, the offensive lineman for the 1980s Bears?
