FEATURED Larry Allen passed away

[pancakeman]

TBH for me this play is up there with the Hail Mary, Alvin Harper clincher, Emmitt bouncing off Falcons, and Lilly sack of Griese among the most memorable single plays of the team's history.

RIP to a football LEGEND! My prayers are with the family and friends.

Oh no! This is as shocking as it is terrible. Larry Allen was one of my most favorite Dallas Cowboys ever. He was too young to be taken from us. I am saddened almost as if I lost a member of my own family.

May he rest in peace. I am so sorry for his family.

This makes me sad. When I was a kid had the honor of meeting Larry Allen a couple times at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. He was such a gentle giant.

He was staying at the same hotel and I was like the only Cowboy fan there repping( this was during the Campo years 2000-2002) we sucked. He would always go out of his way during that week to say what’s up to me signing autographs and pics multiple times. RIP to a true legend Larry Allen.

The tweet said it was sudden. Just guessing but probably a heart attack.

Makes the most sense.
Prayers for the family.
Very sad news...

There has to be a photo of John Madden and Larry Allen together somewhere? I'm having a hard time finding one.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Rest high on that mountain legend.

It’s probably already been posted but he was on vacation in Mexico when he died.

I’ve been trying to process this news today as I had gotten a chance to spend time with LA when I was younger through friends. LA was a rad guy and one of these nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting and watching play. This news is tough today Rest in peace, Larry

and thats totally true too. Maybe in time we shall get the report on Cause with Larry. This one is a hard pill to swallow. Dude was a legend. Jimmy Johnson LOVED Allen. I can't imagine what hes dealing with right now.

Agree! It’s sad and a shock! Feel sorry for all those that were close to him!

 

[Manster_Mash]

Terrible, terrible news. Heartbreaking. I'm speechless. He's one of the true legends of the game. Not just for the Cowboys, but in the history of the sport. Rest in peace. I'll never forget you, Larry. Never.

Speechless! Never saw such a dominating force and there hasn't been anyone close since he retired IMO. RIP big guy!

This hurts! On my all-time favorite Cowboys list. RIP Mr. Allen.

 

[Rockport]

This is what a physically dominant run game looks like.

I saw this on instagram a few minutes ago. I was scrolling and suddenly saw Emmitt crying. This is how I learned of the news.

Larry Allen was only 52 and he was on vacation with his family.

RIP
