Career

Sanmann played youth football with SC Concordia von 1907 in Hamburg. Playing for the amateur league team, he was nominated by national coach Sepp Herberger for the debut game of the newly launched junior national team (U–23) for the international match against Yugoslavia in Frankfurt on 25 June 1955. In the 3–3 draw, he played on the left wing and scored a goal.

After playing in two test matches, Sanmann played his domestic league debut for his new club in the away game on 28 August 1955 as Basel were defeated 2–0 by Chiasso.[1] He scored his first goal for his club on 11 September in the away game as Basel drew 2–2 with Schaffhausen.[2]

Between the years 1955 and 1957 Sanmann played a total of 67 games for Basel scoring a total of 18 goals. 45 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, six in the Swiss Cup and 16 were friendly games. He scored 14 goals in the domestic league, three in the cup and the other was scored during the test games.[3]

After his two seasons with FC Basel, Sanmann returned to his club of origin, who at this time had just been promoted to the Oberliga Nord, the top tier of Germann football at this time. Sanmann then played for SC Concordia von 1907 until the end of his active playing career. He played his last league game on 21 April 1962 in a 3–2 home defeat against VfR Neumünster.
