Timeline
Helmut Benthaus (born 5 June 1935) is a German former football player and coach.
He spent his best playing days at Westfalia Herne and his best coaching days at FC Basel.
Born in Herne, Benthaus played youth football and started his professional career at Westfalia Herne in 1958.
He played for the West Germany national team on eight occasions between 1958 and 1960.
In 1959 he won the Oberliga West title but left just a year later to join 1860 Munich before moving to 1. FC Köln.
He won the Oberliga West again in 1963 with Köln, then the German Bundesliga in 1964 and was Bundesliga runner-up in 1965.
To the beginning of the 1965–66 season Benthaus transferred from Köln to FC Basel and was appointed as player-coach.
He replaced Jiří Sobotka as team manager, who went on to manage the Switzerland national team.
Fourteen teams contested the 1965–66 Nationalliga A.
Basel finished the season in sixth position with 27 points.
They ended the championship with ten wins, seven draws and nine defeats in their 26 matches.
They scored 64 goals and conceded 57.
After playing seven test games Benthaus made his Swiss League debut on 22 August 1965 at the Landhof in the home match against FC UGS Genève.
He scored his first goal for the club in his eighth appearance, a home 3–1 win against Lugano.
That season Benthaus played in 26 league matches and scored three goals.
In their 1966–67 season Basel became Swiss Champions for just the second time in their history.
They won the Nationalliga A championship one point clear of both FC Zürich and FC Lugano who finished in second and third respectively.
Basel won 16 of the 26 games, drawing eight, losing twice, and they scored 60 goals conceding just 20.
Benthaus played in 18 league matches and scored three goals.
In that season Basel won the double.
Basel played an away match in the Stadio Cornaredo against FC Lugano in the semi-final which ended goalless and therefore a replay was required.
The replay was played in the St. Jakob Stadium and goals from Karl Odermatt and Benthaus himself gave Basel a 2–1 victory to qualify for the final which was to take place three days later.
In the Cup final Basel's opponents were Lausanne-Sports.
In the former Wankdorf Stadium on 15 May 1967, Helmut Hauser scored the decisive goal via penalty.
The game went down in football history due to the sit-down strike that followed this goal.
After 88 minutes of play, with the score at 1–1, referee Karl Göppel awarded Basel a controversial penalty.
André Grobéty had pushed Hauser gently in the back and he let himself drop theatrically.
Subsequent to the 2–1 for Basel the Lausanne players refused to resume the game and they sat down demonstratively on the pitch.
The referee had to abandon the match.
Basel were awarded the cup with a 3–0 forfait.
As reigning champions, Basel played a mediocre season 1967–68 season.
Although they were within reach of the table top the entire campaign, they messed everything up towards the end of the season as they lost five games out of seven.
Therefore, they finished the season in fifth position.
They were seven points behind the trio Zürich, Grasshopper Club and Lugano who all ended the season with 38 points.
Basel won 13 of the league 26 games, drawing five, losing eight times, and they scored 49 goals conceding 33.
Benthaus played in 23 league matches and scored three goals.
In the Swiss Cup Basel started in the round of 32 with a home match against lower classed FC Le Locle, but the game had to go into overtime.
After Le Locle took the lead just after half time break, Frigerio netted the equaliser shortly before the end.
