RIP Golden Richards!
A great football player and great athlete you are Mr. Richards!
Football players have a unique bond. In Texas I played 6 man football and 11 man football. I enjoyed both.
You, Golden Richards helped out and contributed to the Dallas Cowboys 20 (From 1965 to 1985) straight winning seasons that, God willing will never be broken! Roger Staubach, Jethro Pugh, Bill Gregory, Drew Pearson, Dwain Thomas, Tony Dorset, Jay Saldi, Ed too tall Jones,
John Dutton, Randy White, Efrain Herrera, Tom Rafferty, Aron Kyle, Tony Fritch, Bob Lily, Mike Ditka, Cornell Green, Mel Renfro,
Danny Villanueva, John Fitzgerald, Mitch Hupps, and other unnamed legendary Dallas Cowboys players made history with Legendary Coach Tom Landry and Tex Schramm and Gil Brandt, Ernie Strautner, and other staff made those 20 straight winning seasons all possible. As a fan I am proud of all you players for that and your contribution to Dallas Cowboys football, coming from a proud/humble fan of DC football in the past and I still always will be a fan. My condolences to the Richards family and friends for your/our loss.
