Alby Bahr (30 September 1881 – 14 November 1962) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Norwood Football Club in the South Australian Football Association/League (SAFA/SAFL). Considered one of Norwood's finest players of the early 1900s,[1] Bahr was recognised beyond his club by being appointed state captain in 1908 for South Australia for the inaugural interstate carnival held in Melbourne. Bahr has been recognised posthumously as a significant player, being named in the Back Pocket in Norwood's Team of the Century and being inducted into the Norwood and South Australian Halls of Fame.[2]
