Troy Aikman. Emmitt Smith. Michael Irvin. Tom Landry. The names are
easily recognizable as Dallas Cowboys, and their legacies are on
display in one location: the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton,
Ohio. Twenty-two members of the Hall of Fame were a part of the Dallas
franchise; only eight NFL teams can boast more, and seven of those
teams have been in existence much longer than the Cowboys. In Dallas
Cowboys in the Hall of Fame: Their Remarkable Journeys to Canton,
David Thomas shares the stories of these incredible players and the
ups and downs they all experienced on their way to pro football’s
most exclusive club. Each player’s life story is told in such a way
to reveal what led him to become a hall of famer, including childhood
memories, influential coaches, the teammates who brought the best out
in them, and more. Cowboy fans will discover such details as the fact
that Troy Aikman was the largest player on his high school football
team—bigger even than the linemen—and that it was Michael
Irvin’s fancy last-minute talking with the Green Bay Packers on
draft day that got him to Dallas and away from a cold-weather team. In
addition, each entry includes career statistics, a player bio, and his
top five Cowboy moments, describing his greatest games and on-field
accomplishments. Cowboy fans have become accustomed to watching
high-caliber players on the field every season, and Dallas Cowboys in
the Hall of Fame brings them the inside information on their favorite
stars of the past. All football fans will enjoy the chance learn more
about the iconic players profiled in this book—legends who have
helped shape the Dallas franchise and the NFL.
