Einar Magnus "Bill" Irgens (June 26, 1883 – October 28, 1947) was an American football player.
A native of Stavanger, Norway, he played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as a halfback and quarterback for the Minneapolis Marines. He appeared in 11 NFL games, seven as a starter, from 1921 to 1923.[1] [2]
Sav Rocca is sometimes cited as the oldest NFL rookie at age 34.[3] Irgens tops Rocca's mark by four years, having made his NFL debut at age 38.[1]
Irgens was also the first Norwegian-born player in the NFL. The second Norwegian-born player, Halvor Hagen, did not debut in the NFL until 1975.[4]
In later years, Irgens worked as a painter in Minneapolis.[5] He died in 1947 in Minneapolis.[1]
