I love the Tony Liscio mention. He was an oft-injured offensive tackle who was traded to San Diego before the 1971 season in the deal that brought Lance Alworth to the Cowboys. The Chargers tried to trade him soon afterwards to Miami, but Tony L decided to retire instead.

Then in November Ralph Neely broke his leg in a motorcycle accident. Tom Landry called Liscio on a Wednesday, and Tony was starting against Washington on Sunday. He did well for the rest of the season and helped hold off the No-Named Defense. in SB VI.

Tony Liscio was a key, now often-forgotten, piece of our first Super Bowl victory. RIP Tony

He was good, but coming over from Baltimore i thought he would be more dominant though.
He had to contend with a team of superstars. He played his role here and let the others do what the excelled at.

Tony Liscio was one of many good - outstanding - great Cowboys players from the franchise's beginning through the late '80s that spent all or nearly all of their NFL career in Dallas.
