He scored his first goal for his club on 27 May 1962 in the away game in the 1962–63 Intertoto Cup. But this goal could not help the team from being defeated, because Basel lost the game 4–3 against PSV Eindhoven. Between the years 1961 and 1963, Stöckli played a total of eight games for Basel scoring a total of two goals. However none of these games were in the Nationalliga A.
