Football career

Glanzmann played his youth football with FC Therwil and advanced to their first team in the 1987–88 season as they played in the fourth tier of Swiss football. FC Basel had been relegated after the 1987–88 Nationalliga A season and because both goalkeepers and many other players left their squad, they were hiring new players. Goalkeeper Remo Brügger was signed in as a replacement from Luzern and Glanzmann also joined Basel from FC Therwil as his back up for their 1988–89 season under head coach Urs Siegenthaler.

After playing in three test games, Glanzmann played his domestic league debut for his new club in the away game on 30 October 1988 against FC Glarus. Glanzmann kept a clean sheet as Basel won 3–0. [1] Glanzmann suffered an injury in the early part of 1990 and this kept him out for over a year. After his recovery Glanzmann played only one more Swiss Cup match against FC Willisau on 29 September 1991. Glanzmann kept a clean sheet here as well as Basel won 2–0. [2]

Between the years 1988 and 1992 Glanzmann played a total of 22 games for Basel. One of these games were in the Nationalliga B, one in the Swiss Cup and 20 were friendly games. [3]

Curiosity

In 1994 there was a small scandal in Ettingen, near Basel. In the 59th minute of the 3rd division game between Ettingen and Binningen the referee awarded a penalty and showed the host team goalie the red card due to his foul. Because the Ettingen goalie would not leave the field, the referee Oliver Blattmann eventually threw away his whistle and marched into the cloakroom for good. The story also has a little celebrity factor. Referee Oliver Blattmann is the son of Rolf Blattmann, the former FIFA referee. Roger Glanzmann was the goalie. The author of the story in "Blick" was Marcel Rohr who later became sports director of the "Basler Zeitung". [4]
