Walter Bahr
Walter Alfred Bahr (born April 1, 1927 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a retired American soccer player, considered one of the greatest ever in his country.〔(Walter Bahr in the National Soccer Hall of Fame )〕 He was the long-time captain of the U.S. national team and played in the 1950 FIFA World Cup when the U.S. defeated England 1–0, in what is considered one of the greatest upsets in sports history. As of February 2, 2015, Bahr is the sole surviving member of the 1950 squad. ==Playing career== Bahr, a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, began playing soccer at the age of 11 and joined the Philadelphia Nationals of the professional American Soccer League as an amateur player. His talent was obvious and he was paid a great compliment during the Scottish national team tour of the U.S. in 1949 by former Scottish international Tommy Muirhead, who wrote in the ''Glasgow Daily Mail'', "Bahr is good enough to play for any First Division team in the United Kingdom."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Walter Bahr )〕 After participating in the 1948 Summer Olympics, Bahr turned professional and helped his club win ASL titles in 1950, 1951, 1953, and 1955. He then switched to the Uhrik Truckers, another team in the Philadelphia area, and won the ASL title in 1956. However, "professional" soccer players at that time made little money and Bahr also was a high school teacher during his playing years. In the late 1960s and through the 70's Bahr was a high school Gym teacher at Frankford High School in Philadelphia. He also coached the soccer team.
