AboutFred 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.
Expert: Fred Goodwin Date: 11/20/2007 Subject: Famous #23?
Question Hey Fred,
I just won a relay race put on by Sonic and Dr Pepper during the halftime show at the Redskin game. One of my prizes was a #23 home jersey, but it says Dr Pepper on the back. I would put my last name on the back, but by no means do I look like a #23, more like a #56! Do u know of any famous Cowboy #23's?
