Young Boys Bern, 1957–1961

In the three championship rounds from 1957/58 to 1959/60, Allemann won the title of Swiss football champion three times in a row as a striker with his club Young Boys Bern . In 1961 he was runner-up with his team. The 1958 cup was won in the replay against Grasshoppers Zurich . The game ended with 4-1 goals.

In the 1958/59 European Cup , Allemann and his team were able to advance to the semi-finals. Both MTK Budapest and Wismut Aue were overcome. In the following year, Bern failed in the European Cup at the German champions Eintracht Frankfurt . In the Wankdorf Stadium , the superior playing Swiss team was countered in the second half by the Riederwälder and lost with 1: 4 goals. In the second leg in Frankfurt, goalkeeper Walter Eich showed an outstanding performance. Eintracht had to be content with a 1: 1.

Abroad (Mantova, Eindhoven and Nuremberg), 1961–1966

• Toni Allemann drew the attention of those responsible for the Italian club AC Mantova in Mantua ( Lombardy ) to himself with his international appearances . He was offered 70,000 francs for a change of club. Allemann accepted the offer and moved to Italy in the summer of 1961. AC Mantova was promoted to Serie A in Italian football for the 1961/62 season and thus also offered a sporting perspective.
• After two years at AC Mantova, Allemann played for one season (1963/64) in the Netherlands for PSV Eindhoven .
• The dribbling left winger then moved to the German Bundesliga, which was founded only a year earlier . In 1964, 1. FC Nürnberg signed the then 28-year-old national player as a striker. The coach of the club Gunther Baumann (in the 1964/65 season) and Jenő Csaknády (in the 1965/66 season) were not satisfied with Allemann's performance. Therefore, he left Nuremberg again at the end of the 1966 season. He had scored eight goals in 50 Bundesliga games.

Back in Switzerland, 1966–1973

In 1966 Allemann returned to Switzerland to the Grasshopper Club Zurich . In his second season (1967/68) he missed his fourth championship win in Switzerland after playoffs against local rivals FC Zurich and FC Lugano . The playoffs had become necessary because of the tie on points. The now 32-year-old was runner-up with Grasshopper Club Zurich. At the end of the 1967/68 season he left the Grasshopper Club Zurich again. He ended his career as a player- coach at the end of the 1972/73 season at the age of 37 at FC Schaffhausen , which was playing in the second highest Swiss league, after having worked for two other clubs .

National team, 1958–66

National coach Jacques Spagnoli appointed the 22-year-old Young Boys Bern striker for the first time on May 7, 1958, for the Swiss national team . The occasion was the friendly against Sweden in Helsingborg. "Toni" Allemann was a two-time goalscorer in the 3-2 defeat against the host country of the 1958 World Cup .

On November 12, 1961 in Berlin, Allemann attacked Karl Rappan's team in the playoff against Sweden. The vice world champion Sweden was beaten with 2-1 goals. The qualification for the World Cup in Chile was successful. In Santiago Toni Allemann represented the Swiss colors in all three group matches against Chile, Germany and Italy. In the World Cup qualification for the 1966 tournament in England, he was nominated for the game on November 14, 1965 in Bern. In the 2-1 victory over Holland, he scored the winning goal shortly before the end and finally secured the team's participation in the 1966 World Cup . On June 19, 1966 he had his last appearance in the national team. Coach Alfredo Foni drove to the 1966 World Cup in England without the 30-year-old striker . Toni Allemann played 27 international matches with nine goals for Switzerland from 1958 to 1966. Allemann was the first Swiss to score an international goal at Wembley Stadium.
