Here's your chance Mr. Smarty ( LOL). How many players can you name? Ain't gonna lie, I can't name one. I think #44 is Perkins. In fact, I can only name one coach.......Landry.
#17 Dandy Don?.....if i'm not mistaken
Weird... when I think about hearing Dandy Don sing that, I also get an image in my head of me playing with my metal Tonka toy trucks.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MereDo00.htm
Dandy Don was great in the ABC booth as well.
...Turn out the lights...the part's over...was classic.

Yes, sir. #17 was Dandy Don...#17 Dandy Don?.....if i'm not mistaken
What a great photo. And that team did not win a game. America’s team did not have a great start to its storied history.
BTW, let me recommend a great book to anyone interested in Cowboys early history: “Reflections”, by Bob Lily. It’s an old book, published in the early 70s, but super interesting. Apparently, Lily was a serious photographer and he took some great pictures at training camp, post game locker rooms, etc. Really insightful.

You are right.#83 TE/Jim Doran was the first TE in franchise history, first Pro Bowler in franchise history, and scored the first TD in franchise history. And from there they just got better with names like Ditka, Dupree, Smith, Cosbie, Novacek, and Witten. Pretty good legacy of TEs.
Don Perkins was one of the original Cowboys. He’s number 43 right there in the front rowI think 14 is Eddie LaBaron and 17 is Don Meredith and 82 could be Frank Clark only from seeing videos from early games. I don't think Don Perkins got to the Cowboys until 1962 but I could be wrong.
