- Summary:
- In Dallas Cowboys in the Hall of Fame: Their Remarkable Journeys to Canton, David Thomas shares the stories of the incredible players who have suited up for this celebrated franchise and the ups and downs they all experienced on their way to pro football's most exclusive club. Childhood memories, influential coaches, and the teammates who brought out the best in them reveal what shaped and guided these football icons to become hall of famers. In addition, each entry includes career statistics and the player's top five Cowboy moments, describing his greatest games and on-field accomplishments. Throughout the book Thomas slips in fun details such 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. Packed with fascinating stories and inspirational moments, Dallas Cowboys in the Hall of Fame will entertain Cowboys and NFL fans alike. Book jacket.
