Veteran Vikings fan, Rookie contributor to The Viking Age. Hailing from the UK soccer was his first love but Josh turned to the gridiron a decade ago, tragically following the Vikings ever since. Josh briefly played running back for the Norwich Devils, evoking Toby Gerhart comparisons but just like Gerhart he never fulfilled his potential.
