Marianne Staubach: Who is Roger Staubach’s Wife?

Marianne Staubach is best known as the wife of Roger Staubach.

Marianne was born on April 23, 1942, in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

She has been married to Roger Staubach since September 4, 1965.

Marianne and her husband share five children; Jennifer Staubach Gates, Michelle Staubach, Amy Staubach, Stephanie Staubach, and Jeff Staubach.

Marianne’s husband Roger Thomas Staubach, nicknamed “Roger the Dodger”, “Captain America”, and “Captain Comeback”, is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League for 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.

He is of partial German descent and grew up in Silverton, a northeastern suburb of Cincinnati.

During his junior year at the Naval Academy, Staubach’s color-blindness was detected and he was commissioned directly into the Supply Corps, which did not necessitate being able to tell the difference between red (port) and green (starboard) lights or to discern the color differences in electrical circuitry.

He was a tenth-round “future” selection in the 1964 NFL Draft by the Cowboys. The NFL allowed the Cowboys to draft him one year before his college eligibility was over.
