Erich Erwin Schricker, called "Winnie", (22 August 1878 – 20 October 1914) was a German footballer who played as defender in the 1890s and early 1900s.
Football career
Erwin Schricker was son of a privy councilor in Strasbourg, which at that time belonged to the German Empire. He came from a middle-class background and played his youth football together with his elder brother Ivo Schricker with local team Straßburger FV. During the summer of 1894 both brothers moved as a high school students to Karlsruhe. Here they joined and played for Karlsruher FV, where they met Walter Bensemann, the great pioneer of German and European football.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7N1B-sMuXJ4C&pg=PA175&dq=Ivo+Schricker+FIFA&lr=#PPA175,M1 |title=Sport in Karlsruhe: von den Anfängen bis heute |date=2006 |publisher=Sonstige |isbn=978-3-88190-440-7 |language=de}}
During Basel's 1895–96 season both brothers played two games for FC Basel. The first game they played was the home game on 1 December 1895 as Basel played a 2–2 draw with FC Excelsior Zürich. Joan Gamper was teammate in that game.{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | year = | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=28521 | title = FC Basel - FC Excelsior Zürich 2:2 (2:0) | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | access-date = 2020-11-16}} The second game they played with Basel was on 8 March 1896 as Basel were defeated 1–3 by Grasshopper Club.{{cite web | first = | last = | authorlink = | year = | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/saison/spiele?command=detail&id=28523 | title = Grasshopper Club - FC Basel 1:3 (1:0) | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | access-date = 2020-11-16}} Both Schricker's played only these two games for Basel, without scoring a goal.{{refn|group=note Scorers|Scorers: many pre-First World War game sheets no longer exist or are incomplete and so, many line ups and most goal scorers in this period remain unknown.}}{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | year = | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/spieler?command=detail&id=9307 | title = Erwin Schricker - FCB-Statistik | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | access-date = 2020-11-16}}{{cite web | last = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | authorlink = | year = | url = https://www.fcb-archiv.ch/spieler?command=detail&id=9308 | title = Ivo Schricker - FCB-Statistik | format = | publisher = Verein "Basler Fussballarchiv” | access-date = 2020-11-16}}
