Biography

Born in Basel,[2] he began his career in 1922 with FC Basel and stayed with them until 1926, when he switched to FC Concordia Basel.[3] During his first season with Basel, he played four friendly matches. He played his domestic league debut for the club in the away match on 4 September 1927 as Basel lost 2–3 against FC Bern.[4] During his two seasons at the club Lehmann played a total of 24 games for Basel scoring two goals. 15 of these games were in the Swiss Serie A, one was in the Swiss Cup, and eight were friendly games. He scored both his goals during the test games.[5]

Lehmann then moved to France, where he spent one season with Stade Français before joining FC Sochaux in 1929, where he would remain until 1938. With them, he was twice French Division 1 Champion (1935, 1938) and won the 1937 Coupe de France.[2] He also played in two international matches with the France national football team: a 2-0 loss against Spain and a 3-0 victory against Belgium.[1] He returned to Switzerland in 1939 and spent the remainder of his career with FC Bienne, retiring in 1944.[2]
