“Dandy Don” Meredith is generally credited as being the second member of the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor even though he and teammate Don Perkins were both inducted at the same time. This is for no other reason than alphabetically speaking Meredith comes before Perkins.
Meredith was a local boy that made good. From Mt. Vernon High School through his days at Southern Methodist and on into the professional ranks, he never played a home game outside a 100 mile radius.
That is not to say that Dandy Don always had the unquestioned love of the north Texas fans.
