Werner Keller (date of birth unknown) was a Swiss footballer who played as forward in the early 1900s.
Football career[edit]
Keller joined FC Basel's first team for their 1908–09 season. He played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game in the Landhof on 11 October 1908 as Basel were defeated 1–2 by Young Fellows Zürich.[1] He scored his first goal for his club on 28 February 1909. He scored a hat-trick in the home game as Basel won 4–3 against Zürich.[2]
During his one season with the club, Keller played at least eight games for Basel scoring four goals. Five of these games were in the Swiss Serie A and three were friendly games. He scored that hat-trick in the domestic league and the others was during the test games.[3] He probably played more games but the documentation is not available.[note 08–09 1]
