Saw this in the Rochester PostBulletin. Fourth paragraph is an interesting tidbit. http://www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=18&a=445913

Roger Hagberg

2/28/39 — 4/15/70

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
Roger Hagberg graduated from Rochester High School in 1957 and was named Minnesota State Athlete of the Year. He scored the winning touchdown against Iowa to send Minnesota to the Rose Bowl in 1960.
He played four years for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers under Bud Grant, and then played five years for the Oakland Raiders under John Madden.
He is, so far, the only football player to have played in the Rose Bowl, the Canadian Grey Cup, and the Super Bowl.
For 40 years he has been deeply missed by his wife, Judy, daughters Julie and Jill, his sister Marlene, and many friends and family.
We love you, Roger.
