Dallas Cowboys icon and Super Bowl champion Lee Roy Jordan has died at the age of 84.

In 14 years as a linebacker for the Cowboys, he was selected to five Pro Bowls and won the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl against the Dolphins after the 1971 season.

The Cowboys announced Jordan's death on Saturday without saying when he died or giving a cause of death.

A Cowboys statement read: 'It is with a very heavy heart that we share the passing of Lee Roy Jordan. An inspirational leader of the Cowboys first championship teams, Jordan was at the core of the Dallas Cowboys "Doomsday Defense," anchoring the middle linebacker spot for 14 years.

'As a five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time All-Pro choice, Jordan was the first Dallas Cowboy inducted into the Ring of Honor by Jerry Jones in 1989.

'With fearless instincts, leadership and a relentless work ethic, Jordan was the embodiment of the Cowboys spirit. Off the field, his commitment to his community was the centerpiece of his life after retiring in 1976.

'His legacy lives on as a model of dedication, integrity and toughness. Lee Roy Jordan's impact on the game, and on those who knew him, will live on forever. Our hearts go out to Lee Roy's family, friends and loved ones.'
