Hans Kalb (3 August 1899 – 5 April 1945) was a German international footballer.[1][2]
The 1. FC Nürnberg player won 15 caps (two goals) for Germany.[3] Kalb was sent off in the match against Uruguay at the 1928 Olympic Games for a deliberate foul against Uruguayan goal scorer Pedro Petrone.[4] Uruguay won the game 4-1, and Kalb received a one year ban from the German Football Association, which ended his international career.[5]
In the First World War he served as an artilleryman in the German Army.[2]
Outside football, Kalb was a dental surgeon who practised in Nuremberg. He died from an infection contracted in surgery.[2]
