At 99-years-old, there aren't many things Minnesota Vikings super fan Millie Wall hasn't witnessed. Until Sunday night, however, watching her beloved NFL team in person during the playoffs was one of them.
Millie has supported the club since its inception in 1961, although she'd never been able to attend any of their 21 playoff games. When the Vikings heard her story, that was something they were keen to change.
In a video shared on Millie's granddaughter Ashley's Instagram account, external, Millie gets surprised with tickets to Sunday night's playoff game against the New Orleans Saints, leaving Millie absolutely gobsmacked.
Now, the Vikings hadn't won a playoff game at home since 2009, so the pressure was on for one of their longest-running supporters to be a much-needed good luck charm.
Millie's usual Sunday night routine involves watching the Vikings play in the comfort of her living room, sipping a screwdriver cocktail and occasionally throwing a foam brick at the TV whenever she gets annoyed during the action.
