About Fred Goodwin
Expertise
My particular expertise is Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 200 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.

Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!

Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.

Experience
I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (200 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.

Question
I've been a fan since by brother and I started attending games around 1963. We would get in free with my dad, as long as we sat outside the chain link fence on the 20 yard line. He would pay $12 and kids under 12 were free! I'm looking for a copy of the old Dallas Cowboys fight song that was played at the beginning of the Tom Landry Show. One of the opening lyrics was "all you Dallas fans stand up and cheer". We might have been one of the few NFL teams in those days with our own fight song. It brings back long ago memories. Remember when Landry would use the coaching projector?

Answer
Steve:

I believe this website has the song you're looking for:

I never saw a game at the Cotton Bowl, but I do indeed recall the projector. I also recall one of the sponsor ads: "Don't have an oil well? Then GET ONE! You'll love doing business with Western!"

Thanx for writing, and hopefully the Cowboys will reward all their fans with a win on Christmas!
