Private life.
Born in Basel, Max Senn was the son of the Basel watchmaker Emil Senn and his wife Frida née Bürgin. For professional reasons in 1901 he moved Hannover and worked for the firm Uhren-Stellmann as instructor for watchmakers for at least two years. After a lengthy, unspecified absence, he registered back in Basel on 3 August 1906. On 18 February 1909, he married Emma Louise Karolina Zehnder, born 24 September 1870. The couple had four children: Max Kurt, born 24 April 1910; Emil Alfred, born 15 December 1911, Jeanne Louise, born 20 November 1914; Yvonne, born 15 June 1916. Senn ran his own watchmaking business, but had to file for bankruptcy in November 1926. He died on 21 July 1933.
Football career.
Senn played his youth football with FC Basel. In 1901 he joined Hannoverscher Fußball-Club 1896, a forerunner of the club Hannover 96. Apart from the fact that a number of English people were involved in the founding of many German football clubs, the player Max Senn is one of the first foreigners ever to be on record in German football. He was the first Swiss person to be top scorer in the German League.
Senn rejoined Basel, in first team, for their 1906–07 season. He played his first friendly match for Basel 14 October 1906. He scored both goals as Basel won 2–1 against Grasshopper Club. Senn played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 28 October as Basel won 6–2 against FC Bern.<ref name="fcb-achiv-bern-fcb-1906/07"></ref> He scored his first (recorded) league goal for his club in the away game on 18 November.
