Dandy Don Meredith
The First Dallas Cowboy

Don Meredith was North Texas’ original sports superstar.

When rookie quarterback Don Meredith walked into the Cotton Bowl in 1960 as a new team member, he had no idea he would lay the groundwork to create the most prestigious job in all sports. It is the job with the most pressure to perform, the job about which everybody has an opinion, defined by last names only—Staubach, Aikman, Romo, Prescott. It all begins with Dandy Don Meredith, the first true superstar in North Texas.

While most star Cowboys wrote their memoirs, Meredith never told his life story. That left an opening for author Dave Lieber to write the first full-length biography – Dandy Don Meredith – The First Dallas Cowboy.
