Max Glenck
Swiss footballer
Max Glenck (born 7 December 1889) was a Swiss footballer who played for FC Basel. He played as a goalkeeper and as a midfielder.
Glenck joined Basel's first team for their 1913–14 season under Basel's very first professional coach, the English ex-international and professional player Percy Humphreys. Glenck played his domestic league debut for the club as the goalkeeper in the away game on 22 March 1914 when Basel were defeated 0–2 by FC Bern.
Glenck played one season for their first team and during this time he played two games for them in the Serie A. The second match he played as a midfielder, a positional change that was quite normal during this period of time.

Why this record matters
The phrase “swiss footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 27, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q105046981. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1889, 1913, 1914 and 2017.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
