J. Schneider (date of birth unknown) was a Swiss footballer who played for FC Basel as forward or midfielder during the 1890s.

Football career

[edit]

FC Basel was founded on 15 November 1893 and Schneider joined the club about two years later, during their 1895–96 season. Schneider played his first game for the club in the home game on 23 November 1895 as Basel played their first ever game against Anglo-American Club Zürich.[1]

Schneider stayed with the club for just this one season and during this time he played five games for Basel without scoring a goal.[note Scorers 1][2]
