He was a member of the U.S. Olympic soccer team at the 1956 Summer Olympics. Club careerDecker and his brother Otto were born in Germany, but grew up in England. In March 1939, the Decker's parents, Ilse and Hans, sent the two boys to England as part of the kindertransport.[1] Rolf went on to play twice for Aylesbury United F.C. The first time during the 1946–1947 season and again during the 1949–1950 season. In 1950, Rolf and Otto moved to the United States to rejoin their mother who lived in New York City. When Rolf arrived in the U.S., he signed with Brooklyn Hakoah and played from at least 1953 through 1963 with the team which was by then known as New York Hakoah.[2] In 1955, both Rolf and Otto played for the Hokoah squad which lost in the semifinals the National Challenge Cup.[3] In 1957, Hakoah lost to St. Louis Kutis SC in the final of the National Cup.[4] Between 1957 and 1959, Decker and his team mates won three consecutive league titles. National teamDecker earned four caps with the U.S. national team in between 1953 and 1956. His first game with the national team came on June 8, 1953 in a 6-3 loss to England. He played two games in 1954, both 1954 FIFA World Cup qualification victories over Haiti. Despite these two wins, the U.S. had already failed to qualify for the finals after losing twice to Mexico earlier in the year. Decker’s last cap came in the only U.S. game of 1955, a 3-2 loss to Iceland on August 25, 1955.[5] Decker was selected for the U.S. soccer team at the 1956 Summer Olympics. The U.S. lost its first match in this single elimination tournament and did not make the second round.
