Tom Landry (1924-2000)

With football reaching its peak once again it might be timely to salute the mind behind the competetive Dallas Cowboys, the superb coach and devoted Christian Tom Landry.

Winner of two Superbowls and five NFC titles, Landry turned in 20 winning seasons between 1966 and 1985.

But he was also a devoted member of his United Methodist Church for 43 years. This qulaified him to be the subject of a "Christian comic book" in the 1970s where his faith committment inspired many.
