Can't really name 5 but Alvin Harper is the guy for me. The Slant will go down as one of my favorite Cowboy memories of all time. I still get goose bumps just thinking where I was, what I was doing and how I was feeling when we came out for that crucial drive.

I was still in HighSchool at the time and it just felt great going to school and celebrating that win on that Monday morning.

He was basically a superstar. The OP said non-superstars.

Kenny "The Shark" Gant. Can't come up with 5 but he was my number one favorite. Every time he broke out the shark dance you knew it was a good day.
