Heinrich "Henri" Skiba (14 July 1927 – 11 March 2018)[1] was a French football player of German origin who played for France national football team; he was then manager in Switzerland[2] and France.[3]
Skiba was born in German Upper Silesia. After World War II, as a refugee from Silesia, he was discovered by 1. FC Nürnberg when their "Oldies" team played a Bavarian non-league side in 1949.[4] He was signed for the first team but appeared in only two Oberliga Süd matches in the early stages of 1949–50 before moving on to France and won his first full cap at 32. He moved to France in 1950, and became an international for the France national football team.[5][1] He died in Limoges in March 2018.
