the guy on the right looks a bit like Dave Osborn....I had an old football card of him but he had real short hair.

That's all I got.

Is the kid with the glasses Wobschal?

That's definitely Dave Osborn on the right. I can't figure out who's on the left. At first I thought it might be Oscar Reed but I don't think so.

Do you know what year the picture was taken?

Could the guy on the left be Brent McClanahan?

I had the same thought and did a Google image search for Brent McClanahan to refresh my memory regarding his appearance but I don't see much resemblance. Give it a try it and see what you think.

If that is Osborn on the right.. He had a crewcut early on in the late '60's. The photo shows long sideburns and the crewcut is gone. I'd say the photo is from 1970-1971. My guess is Clint Jones, another running back. What say Mothman?

It definitely looks like a '70s shot. Jones is a good guess.

It's not Jones. Look at the Google pics. He has a much rounder face. But the Google pics show that it's definitely Osborne on the right, despite the hair style.

What we need is a Vikings roster pic from whatever year the pic was taken, unless this was shot after these guys retired.

I did a search for Jones and I agree, it doesn't look like him. I don't think it's Gene Washington or Nate Wright either. I'm stumped. We need that team picture you mentioned!

Hmmm... I think Gilliam's face was longer and more angular than that.

How about Rickey Young? Take a look at the Google photos. He looks like the guy on the left to me.
