Kurt Spirig (born 25 June 1964) is a Swiss former footballer who played in the 1980s as defender.
Spirig first played for local club FC Diepoldsau-Schmitter. FC Basel were relegated after the 1987–88 Nationalliga A season and because many players left their squad, they were hiring new players. Spirig thus joined Basel for their 1988–89 season and signed his first professional football contract under head coach Urs Siegenthaler. After playing in one test match, Spirig played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game at the St. Jakob Stadium on 3 August 1988 as Basel won 4–0 against Chur.[1]
In his one season with the club, Spirig played a total of 13 games for Basel without scoring a goal. Eight of these games were in the Nationalliga B, one in the Swiss Cup and four were friendly games.[2]
