Frank LeMaster, a starting linebacker on the Eagles 1980 Super Bowl team and a Pro Bowler in 1981, died Thursday, according to the Eagles.
LeMaster grew up near Lexington and played college football at Kentucky before the Eagles drafted him in the 4th round in 1974.
After spending his rookie year as a backup, he moved into the starting lineup in 1975 and didn’t leave until he retired after the 1982 season. In Eagles history, LeMaster has the fourth-most starts among linebackers, behind William Thomas , Chuck Bednarik and long-time teammate John Bunting . "That was a day where everything went right," LeMaster told the Eagles’ website."I had a lot of tackles. I think I had a fumble recovery and I had two interceptions that day.
LeMaster finally made his first Pro Bowl in 1981 after his eighth season, when he had two more INTs and his third career touchdown.
