He played with the club this one season and during this time Zürrer played three games for Basel without scoring a goal.[2]
Zürrer played his last game with the team in the home game in the St. Jakob Stadium on 14 November as Basel won 3–1 against FC Excelsior Zürich.[note Scorers 1][3]
Notes
[edit]Footnotes
[edit]- ^ League: up until 1898 there was no league football in Switzerland.
- ^ 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.
