Anton Schall (22 June 1907 – 5 August 1947) was an
Admira Vienna, and later managed FC Basel. Normally a versatile left footed forward or winger, Schall is considered one of the greatest Austrian men's footballers.[2]

His success with the national team included making Runner-up at the
1931-32 Central European International Cup being top scorer for Austria & reaching the semifinals at the 1934 FIFA World Cup.[3]
After his playing career, Schall, who suffered from a rare heart condition, moved to Switzerland and took over
Lausanne Sports. However, he died shortly afterwards aged 40 during a workout on the football field. Team captain Ernst Hufschmid
then took Basel over as coach.
