Larry Allen is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on November 27, 1971 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Pro Football Hall of Fame guard who played for 14 NFL seasons, from 1994 until 2007, for both the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers.
He blocked for Troy Aikman in the Cowboys’ victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XXX.
Allen made first NFL start at right guard in the season opener at the Meadowlands against the New York Giants on September 4, helping the Dallas offense record 459 yards, including 230 rushing yards. In the regular-season finale, on the road against the Cardinals on Christmas Day, the offensive line enabled Dallas to record 474 yards of total offense for the most yardage by a Cowboys team since September 15, 1985. On January 28, 1996, Allen earned his first start in a Super Bowl as well as his only Super Bowl ring when the Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 in Super Bowl XXX.
Allen was chosen as a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 1990s and the 2000s. Also, he has been widely recognized as one of the NFL’s all-time best offensive linemen, and one of the most powerful men to play the game. In his 14 seasons in the National Football League, he was named to the Pro Bowl 11 times, including his last as a 49er in 2006. He was also named All-Pro seven times, six times at guard (1995–1997, 1999–2001) and once at tackle (1998). With his Pro Bowl selection at tackle in 1998, he became just the third player in league history to be selected to the Pro Bowl at more than one offensive line position during his career, joining Bruce Matthews of the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans (guard/center) and Chris Hinton of the Atlanta Falcons/Indianapolis Colts/Minnesota Vikings (guard/tackle). He played all but one position along the offensive line in his 11 seasons in Dallas, moving between right tackle (1994), right guard (1995–1997), left tackle (1997–1998) and left guard (1999–2003).
His wife, Janelle, was present and held his hand during his Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2013.
