When I was a kid, my dad played in a charity basketball game against an all star team made up of some of the Cowboy's players.  My dad is also an artist who when the oil field in West Texas was booming - did a lot of commissioned drawings of cowboy players for people.  So at this game, he was able to take a print of his picture of "Too Tall" and get it signed by all the cowboy players in the locker room after the game.  My dad told me that "Too Tall" was the nicest of them all (maybe because the picture was of him) and that he was wearing red boxers with white hearts on them - go figure.  Anyways, thats why he makes the list and I used to have a poster of Dorsett in my room and can remember watching him as a kid.  Randy White should have made my list too.  

Being a cowboy fan all my life, I know the history and can appreciate all the guys on that list - but can't remember seeing them play enough to make my list.  Every one of those guys listed would make my dad's list.  His favorite Cowboy of all-time is Bob Lily by the way.

As for Staubach - my bad.  It does not matter that I was 3 when he retired.  He has to make the list - I would put him right after Emmitt.

There are too many to list.  

I have met Staubach, Woodson, and Irvin.

Staubach was legendary, Irvin was inspiring, and Woody was the nicest guy you'd ever meet.

For some reason Danny White always sticks out in my memory. He could never bring us the big one, but he always left it all out on the field.  Must have been hard playing in the wake of Staubach.

I often think that the Cowboys got the title "America's Team" not for their winning, but for their ablity to break your heart.

captivated me while at the Naval Academy (I was in the Navy at the time). He was everything you could ever hope for in a leader and quarterback. When the Cowboys drafted him I became a Cowboys fan even though we had to wait for him to serve his military obligation.

There are too many others to contain in a list of 10 but my list starts with Roger.

I know he played for the rival redskins and 49ers, but the best CB of all time was a cowboy at one point!

You gotta show love for Primetime!

I was born in 1968 in Indianapolis. So my formative years were spent without a hometown team during an era when the Cowboys were really good. So the Cowboys were one of the teams that I watched and usually rooted for (esp. against the Steelers, who I HATED). Anyway, when I was 8 or 9 years old, I thought Golden Richards was about the coolest guy alive.
