Career

Gustav Gottenkieny was a two-footed football player. At the age of 14, the future defender made his debut in the top Swiss league as a center forward at FC Winterthur . From 17 he plays as a central defender. He played for Winterthur from 1906 to 1914, but he cannot be found on the master photo from 1908. After the merger of Winterthur with FC Veltheim in 1914, he left the club and moved to Stella Friborg , where he played in defense with Edouard Duriaux . After four years in Winterthur, he returned to his parent club in Winterthur, for which he played again for two years until 1920.

On March 28, 1920 he was called up for the first time for an international match against Italy for the national team, for which he played fourteen games until 1925. In 1924, he and the national team were among the silver medalists at the Olympic Games in Paris .

In the summer of the same year he left Winterthur again and switched to cantonal rivals Grasshoppers (GC), for whom he played from 1920 to 1928. With GC he won the championship title in 1921 and 1928 and even the double in 1928.

During his football career he was coach of the Winterthur district club SC Veltheim in the 1922/23 season, with whom he managed to advance to the top division as a coach.
