The 2nd of June 2024 will be remembered with sadness by Dallas Cowboys fans and the NFL as a whole.
Cowboys legend Larry Allen died at the age of 52. The former offensive lineman passed away ‘suddenly’ while on holiday with his family in Mexico.
The Hall Of Famer and Super Bowl champion was a member of the Dallas squad for 12 of the 14 seasons he spent in the NFL. Between 1994 and 2005, he enjoyed his golden era with the star team.
Allen was named to the All-Pro first team six times in a row from 1996 to 2001. In addition, The Pro Football Hall of Fame honoured him for his All-Decade team of the 90s and 2000s.
Former teammates and Cowboys legends published tributes and condolences to Allen
Last Monday, the official profile of the Dallas Cowboys published the announcement of Larry Allen’s death, followed by an emotional text that emphasises what he represented to the franchise.
“Larry, known for his great athleticism and incredible strength, was one of the most respected, accomplished offensive linemen to ever play in the NFL,” the team wrote.
“His versatility and dependability were also signature parts of his career. Through that, he continued to serve as inspiration for many other players defining what it meant to be a great teammate, competitor and winner.”
Troy Aikman, Allen’s teammate for seven seasons, also made a special point of paying his respects and leaving a heartfelt message for what his former teammate represented on and off the field.
Emmitt Smith, a former Dallas running back, posted on his Instagram account a video of about four minutes talking about his friend’s death and crying throughout his statement: “My heart is just broken… We need to make the best out of every moment and not take people granted.”
“I’m at a loss of words right now. Such a good dude, great player, super person,” Smith said… “The one thing about Larry Allen, I know. He had a big heart and he lived life to the fullest. A man of very few words but on the football field was a beast. And [he] will be sorely missed.”
