ANSWER: In his book children's book Things Change (1995 Taylor Publishing), Troy writes: "During my first year, my parents found it difficult to put on my shoes. They were not worried at first. Soon, however, they started to wonder why my legs slightly bowed below my knees and my toes curled under my feet.

"They took me to Dr. Bill McColl, a former Chicago Bears football player, who told my parents I had a mild form of club foot.

"Dr. McColl put casts on my feet when I was 8 months old. Every two weeks the casts were changed. I wore those casts until a month after my first birthday, and I even learned to walk wearing them.

"After the casts came off, I wore special shoes until I turned 3 years old. The high-top white shoes looked like regular shoes except the toes pointed out, as though they were on the wrong feet. I wore the shoes day and night. My heels were strapped together when I slept.

"Slowly my feet grew normally."

ANSWER: Troy started chewing tobacco when he was 15, and tried unsuccessfully to quit while he was in high school and in college. Troy's decision to quit chewing came in January of 1997 when he was watching Super Bowl XXXI. His mother had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer (but is quite well now), and his grandfather had died from cancer when Troy was 10. He quit cold turkey, and the first few days were quite difficult, but he has not chewed since. Cowboys deep snapper Dale Hellestrae quit cold turkey two weeks after Troy did. In September of 1999, Troy helped kick off a new campaign against the use of smokeless tobacco. Troy has teamed with several public and private sector agencies, including the Texas Cancer Council, the Texas Department of Health, and the American Cancer Society to produce a series of public service announcements (PSAs) and posters encouraging Texas kids not to use spit tobacco. During his last seasons with the Cowboys, Troy was indeed chewing on the sidelines during games -- but it was sunflower seeds.

ANSWER: Troy has owned and raced several Legends cars. He hosted a celebrity Legends race at the Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) on April 5, 1997, but was out-of-town and did not participate (the race had been delayed by several days due to weather). He hosted a second race at the TMS on June 7, 1997, and finished in 8th place.

Troy has gotten down to a seven-handicap at Glen Eagles Country Club, which is his home course. Golf course he has played include Pebble Beach, Spyglass, Cypress Point, Pine Valley, and the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland.

ANSWER: For the 1993 CD "Everybody Wants to Be a Cowboy," released by Midwest Records, Troy recorded a solo called "Oklahoma Nights." He also recorded the title cut along with Walt Garrison, Randy White, Coach Joe Avezzano and Jay Novacek. This group of current and former Cowboys was known as the Super Boys.

In the fall of 1996, Troy recorded a song with Toby Keith called "Two Pairs of Levis and a Pair of Justin Boots" and another song with Waylon Jennings, Bill Bates, Dale Hellestrae, Mark Tuinei, and Coach Joe Avezzano called "The Good Old Dallas Cowboys." These are included on the "NFL Country" CD released in November 1996 by Castle Records.

ANSWER: Troy says, "I had pretty much always been #10 when I was growing up. I wanted #10 when I went to Oklahoma University but an upperclassman already had it.

ANSWER: Troy majored in management information systems at Oklahoma University. However, at the time he transferred to UCLA the school did not have a business school for undergraduates.
