Walter Bahr, 91, a Philadelphia native who became one of the great players and coaches in American soccer history, has died.
Mr. Bahr also was the father of two NFL kickers, Chris and Matt, who went on to win Super Bowls. His passing was announced Monday by former U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati.
Saddened to learn of the passing of Walter Bahr—a legend as a player, as a coach and most importantly as a caring gentleman. Rest in peace my friend.
Mr. Bahr grew up in Kensington, and began playing soccer with the famed Lighthouse Boys club.
