One of the six Minnesota Vikings to ever have his number retired died on Tuesday at age 87.

Jim Marshall was not only part of the "Purple People Eaters" defensive line that menaced offenses throughout the team's dominating decade (1968-76) that included four NFC Championships, he is still No. 3 on the all-time NFL list of most consecutive games played.

Through gruesome injuries, he laced it up for 270 straight contests, including the first game the Vikings ever played in 1961, all the way to his last game in 1979. He is on multiple lists of "best players in NFL history not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

So, what was Marshall like to play with?

Fellow Vikings Ring of Honor member Chuck Foreman — a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowler running back himself — has vivid and incredible stories, including the time an ambulance came to the stadium to pick up a gruesomely-injured Marshall before a game.

Foreman pays tribute to Marshall for 16 minutes with Happy Hour host John Gaskins.
