The Dallas Cowboys might not have the silverware you might expect but the value of the NFL side continues to soar to $8billion (£6.7bn), according to the annual figures published by Forbes.
The world's most valuable sports franchise has only made the play-offs four times in the last 12 seasons, but are worth far more than Spanish powerhouses Real Madrid $5.1bn (£4.2bn) and Barcelona $5bn (£4.1bn) while Manchester United are the third ranked football team on Forbes list valued at $4.6bn (£3.8bn).
The gap between the Cowboys and England's most valuable football club is still increasing with the American giants increasing in value by 23 per-cent on last year while the United rose by just 10 per-cent, while neither side dazzled on the sports field.
