career
societies
Norbert Eschmann was an outsider who “combined elegance and game intelligence”, but also “experienced a number of dark hours” during his sporting appearances.
In his third playing phase in Lausanne, 1963 to 1965, the trained jeweler won the Swiss Cup in 1963/64 on March 30, 1964 with a 2-0 win over FC La Chaux-de-Fonds - Eschmann took the 1-0 lead - and in 1964/65 he and his team won the championship in front of Young Boys Bern . In contrast, he lost his first cup final in 1957 with 1: 3 goals against Chaux-de-Fonds.
Eschmann also played in French professional football for six years . In the 1954/55 season he rose from the second to the highest division with Red Star ; as this promotion was subsequently canceled due to the agreement on results, he left the club. The 1958/59 season, this time at Olympique Marseille , ended with the relegation of the southern French; Eschmann had played in 34 league games and scored five goals. He remained loyal to Olympique there for a year (32 games with eight goals in Division 2 ) before he moved to the capital club Stade Français after clearly missing out on promotion . At this club he made 95 first division appearances in the following three years and scored 31 goals. In his very first season he finished 10th on the top scorer list with 15 goals . However , he did not come close to the championship title ; a 10th place in the table at the end of the 1961/62 season was his best placement with Stade Français. With André Lerond , Raymond Bellot , Philippe Gondet , Georges Carnus and Charly Loubet, there were quite a number of well-known players in his team. Norbert Eschmann never made it through the round of 16 in the cup competition during his six years in France.
National team
The offensive talent was already part of the Swiss tournament squad at the 1954 World Cup in his own country. But it was not used during the World Cup. He had his debut in the "Nati" on September 15, 1956 in the domestic Stade Olympique de la Pontaise in the international match against Holland, which was lost with 2: 3 goals. In 1961 he was active in the two World Cup qualifiers against Sweden in Bern and Berlin. On October 29, he scored the 3-2 winning goal in the second leg and thus forced the playoff. The Swiss decided on November 12th with 2-1 goals and qualified for the 1962 World Cup in Chile. Coach Karl Rappan relied on Eschmann in the first group game against the organizer Chile in Santiago - the game was lost 3-1 - and also relied on the Stade Français player in the second group game against Sepp Herberger's team on June 3 . But in the 12th minute he suffered a broken fibula in a duel with Horst Szymaniak and had to retire at half time. Norbert Eschmann's career in the Swiss national team ended with his 15th international match against Hungary in Bern on October 4, 1964 .
