Paul Thalmann (born 16 October 1884) was a Swiss footballer who played as a striker or midfielder in the early 1900s.
Football career
[edit]Thalmann joined FC Basel's first team for its 1899–1900 season. In that season, the club did not compete in the Swiss Serie A and played only friendly games. Thalmann played his first game with the team in the away match in the Stadion Schützenmatte on 21 January 1900 when Basel were beaten 1–3 by local rivals Old Boys.[1] Thalmann played five friendly games in his first season and in his second season he played mainly with Basel's reserve team. After playing in seven friendly games, he played his first domestic league match for the club in the home game at the Landhof on 23 November 1902 when Basel was defeated 1–2 by Old Boys.[2]
Thalmann played for Basel's first team for four season and during this time he played a total of 18 games for Basel. Seven of these games were in the Swiss Serie A and 11 were friendly games.[3] He probably played in more games than mentioned, but the documentation is incomplete.[note 01–02 1][note 03–04 1]
