Hans Billeter

Hans Billeter (20 January 1880 – 1 December 1930) was a Swiss footballer who played as forward in the late 1890s.

The official Swiss championship had not yet been called into life and so the team played only friendly games.

Subsequently, the protest was approved and the game awarded - and the disputed goal was simply deducted from the score to give the final result.

Thus the Old Boys became the first forfait winners in Swiss football history and Basel were knocked out of the competition.

The Anglo American Football Club won the match 10–0, with their center forward Robert Collinson alone scoring 8 goals.

In his three seasons with the club, Billeter played a total of 24 games for Basel scoring at least three goals.
