Buck Buchanan was the beloved equipment manager for the Dallas Cowboys for twenty-five years, during which time the Cowboys won four of their five Super Bowls led by such legendary stars as Roger Staubach, Hollywood Henderson, Randy White, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Bob Hayes, Lee Roy Jordan, and of course larger-than-life coach Tom Landry. In these pages Buchanan provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at America's Team, from the logistics of moving equipment for away games, to the proclivities and needs of individual players.

Industry Reviews

Buck Buchanan is one of the most loyal, valuable and cherished personalities that the Dallas Cowboys franchise has ever produced. There is no better source for Cowboys lore and unique anecdotes than this wise and dedicated professional who served this organization with pride for 25 years. You will enjoy the stories he has to tell from behind the scenes and on the front lines of NFL history. Buck has seen it all, and his reflections in this book are an accurate and honest peek into the life of a Cowboys legend. -- Jerry Jones, Owner and General Manager of the Dallas Cowboys
