About Bob Hermann
Bob began his professional soccer work as President of the National Professional Soccer League at its formation in June of 1966. In the following nine months Bob recruited owners, management and players to staff the fledging league for a Spring, 1967 launch. His vision and energy gave the United States its first nationwide professional league. In 1967 the NPSL and the United Soccer Association, a rival professional league, united to form the North American Soccer League, the 17 year professional league that brought world greats Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, and Johan Cruyff to the United States. Until the end of 1979, Bob Hermann was the leader of professional soccer in the United States as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the NASL. He was the President and primary owner of the St. Louis Stars and California Surf through the 1980 season. Inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2001.
