10 Things You Didn’t Know About Vikings' Travis Fimmel

8. His Dream Was To Be A Pro Football Player

Travis grew up wanting to be a Pro Football Player and even played the sport while growing up with his two brothers and, of course at school. His coaches even praised him saying he was "incredible". Unfortunately (or is that fortunately?) it didn€™t work out for him. When Travis was a teenager he moved to Melbourne to pursue his dream. He was ready for the next step in his life and would have played professional AFL Football for the St Kilda Football Club, but disaster struck and he was side-lined before the season even began.
