Football career

FC Basel was founded on 15 November 1893 and Dr. H. Siegrist joined the club a few weeks later during their 1893–94 season.

The first football match that the club held was in the Landhof on 10 December against the football team of the club RTV/Realschüler-Turnverein, a secondary school student gymnastics club. Siegrist played in this match. He scored his first goal for the club in the same game, the second goal of the match, as Basel won by two goals to nil.[1]

Siegrist stayed with the club for three seasons and during this time he played 14 games for Basel scoring at least two goals.[note Scorers 1][2]

Notes

Footnotes
  1. League: up until 1898 there was no league football in Switzerland.
  1. Scorers: many pre-First World War game sheets no longer exist or are incomplete and so, many line ups and most goal scorers in this period remain unknown.
