Biography

Walter Baumann (* 21 July 1942) is a retired Swiss footballer who played for FC Basel in the early 1960s. He played mainly in the position as Striker, but also as defender.

Football career

Between the years 1962 and 1966 Baumann played three and a half seasons in a total of 65 games for Basel scoring a total of 6 goals. 28 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, seven in the Swiss Cup, seven in European competitions (European Cup Winners' Cup, Cup of the Alps, Inter-Cities Fairs Cup) and 23 were friendly games. He scored two goals in the domestic league, one in the Swiss Cup and the other three were scored during the test games.

On 15 April 1963 the Wankdorf Stadium hosted the Cup Final and Basel played against favorites Grasshopper Club. Two goals after half time, one by Heinz Blumer and the second from Otto Ludwig gave Basel a 2–0 victory and their third Cup win in their history. Baumann wasn't in the team that played but in the squad. He played his Nationalliga A debut on 22 September 1963 in the away game against Lausanne-Sport that Basel won 3–2. He scored his first goal for his new club on 27 October 1963 against Grasshopper Club as Basel won 2–1. It was in fact the winning goal of the match.

Following his time with Basel, Baumann moved on to La Chaux-de-Fonds and later to FC Moutier
