Football career

FC Basel was founded on 15 November 1893 and Mory joined the club about three years later, during their 1896–97 season. Mory played his first game for the club in the away game on 8 November 1896 as Basel were defeated 1–2 by Grasshopper Club. [1]

Mory stayed with the club for two seasons. During the first season he played in six of the team's seven matches and in the second he played in nine out of ten matches. [note Scorers 1] [2] The last game that Mory played for Basel was on 8 May 1898 as Basel won 2–0 against FC Fortuna Zürich. His teammate John Tollmann acted as referee in that match. [3]

Following his time in Basel, Mory moved across the city and joined local rivals BSC Old Boys.

The Swiss Football Association (ASF-SFV) was formed in 1895 and was a founder member of FIFA in 1904. The following year the Switzerland national team played their first official international match against France on 12 February 1905. Mory played his only international for the Swiss team in this match, which was played at the Parc des Princes in front of 500 supporters. France won the match 1–0 with the only goal coming from Gaston Cyprès.
