Last living member of soccer team that pulled upset dies
When Walter Bahr walked off the field in Brazil after the famous United States victory over England at the 1950 World Cup, he didn’t expect to become a soccer celebrity.
Known for many years as the father of two NFL placekickers, Bahr regained prominence in his own right when the Americans returned to soccer’s showcase in 1990 after a 40-year-absence.
He is survived by his wife of 71 years, the former Davies Uhler; daughter Davies Ann Desiderio, and sons Matt, Chris, and Casey.
Matt and Chris each won two Super Bowls.
A memorial service is scheduled for June 29 in State College, Centre County.
