H MICHAEL IRVIN H<br />

Wide Receiver, 1988-99<br />

Michael “The Playmaker” Irvin helped lead the Dallas Cowboys<br />

to six division titles and three Super Bowl rings before a spinal<br />

for eight consecutive seasons and retired as the Cowboys alltime<br />

leader in receptions (750), receiving yards (11,904), playoff<br />

receptions (87) and playoff receiving yards (1,315). As a five-time<br />

Pro Bowl selection, between 1991-98, Irvin has two more appearances<br />

than any other receiver in club history. Irvin was inducted<br />

into the Ring of Honor with Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman on<br />

Monday Sept. 19, 2005 at halftime of the Cowboys-Redskins<br />

The first head coach of the Cowboys, Tom Landry led Dallas to two<br />

Super Bowl wins and five NFC titles in his 29 years at the Cowboys<br />

helm. He compiled a career record of 270-178-6, the third-most<br />

wins in NFL history, and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of<br />

Fame in 1990. Landry was inducted into the Ring of Honor at halftime<br />

of the Cowboys against N.Y. Giants on Nov. 7, 1993.<br />

H LEE ROY JORDAN H<br />

Linebacker, 1963-76<br />

The inspirational leader of the Cowboys first championship teams<br />

following an All-America career at Alabama, Jordan anchored the<br />

“Doomsday Defense” from his middle linebacker position for 14<br />

years. He was named to the Pro Bowl five times and All-Pro twice.<br />

Jordan was inducted into the Ring of Honor at halftime of the<br />

Cowboys against Arizona on Oct. 29, 1989.<br />

Defensive Tackle, 1961-74<br />

Nicknamed “Mr. Cowboy,” Bob Lilly was the franchise’s first draft<br />

first inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. A seventime<br />

All-Pro, Lilly was named to a club-record 11 Pro Bowls. He<br />

was a two-time All-SWC pick and an All-America at Texas Christian<br />

University before being drafted by Dallas. Lilly was inducted into<br />
