Career
After playing for BSC Old Boys from 1915 to 1924, Pollitz went to France to play for US Suisse Paris. On 13 March 1927, Pollitz accidentally kicked the Stade Olympique de l'Est goalkeeper Georges Le Bidois, aged 26, at his carotid, the incident led to the goalkeeper's sudden death.[1][2] Consequently, Pollitz left France back to his former club where he played for one year before retirement.[3]
Pollitz had 23 caps with Switzerland from 1920 to 1925. He won the silver medal in Football at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, in which he took part in all games of his team during the tournament.[4]

gollark: Oh, bee you, Nvidia.
