Gary Allen Biography
Gary Eugene Allen (born April 23, 1960) is a former American football running back in the National Football League for the Houston Oilers and Dallas Cowboys. He also was a member of the Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Canadian Football League. He played college football at the University of Hawaii.
On September 29, 1983, he was signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys to replace an injured Chuck McSwain. He played only on special teams, returning punts and kickoffs. Against the Kansas City Chiefs, he returned a punt for a 68-yard touchdown. He also fumbled a punt that was the turning point in the wild card playoff loss against the Los Angeles Rams.
Allen was selected by the Houston Oilers in the sixth round (148th overall) of the 1982 NFL Draft, after dropping due to concerns about his short stature. He played in 8 games returning punts and kickoffs. On September 8, 1983, he was waived to make room for running back Vagas Ferguson.
The next year, he led the team in kickoff returns with a 20.2-yard average, ranked fifth in the NFL in punt return yards (446 yards), tenth in kickoff return yards (666 yards) and tied a team record with 54 punt returns. In 1985, the team tried unsuccessfully to convert him into a wide receiver and was released on August 16.
In 1986, he signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League and was named the starter at running back, after being originally listed fifth on the depth chart. He was benched in three games for being late to practices and missing team meetings. He still finished as the league’s rushing leader (1,153 yards) and punt returner (768 yards), becoming the first player to be selected to the All-star team in two positions in a single season. He also set franchise records with 768 punt return yards in a season and 155 punt return yards in a game (September 14).
On August 22, 1988, he was signed by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He was released on September 8, after playing in three games and registering 53 rushing yards (5.6 yard avg.).
The next year, he led the West Division in rushing yards (857) and again received All-star recognition. His performance fell off in 1988, before being cut after three games with only 100 rushing yards (5.0 yard avg.).
In 1988, he was inducted into the University of Hawaii ring of honor.
