Roger Hagberg (February 28, 1939 – April 15, 1970) was a professional gridiron football player, who played running back for five seasons for the Oakland Raiders and four seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[1]
Hagberg's family moved to Rochester, Minnesota, when he was young, and he grew up there. His father worked as a probation officer and his mother taught Latin at Central Junior High School. He graduated from Rochester High School in 1957 and attended the University of Minnesota.
Hagberg was killed on April 15, 1970, when he was thrown out of his car and struck by two other vehicles.[2] Oakland Raiders' quarterback Daryle Lamonica attended Roger Hagberg's funeral in Rochester.
