In 1942 Müller moved from his home club FC Birsfelden to FC Basel during their 1942–43 season. His transfer sum (CHF 2500.00) was enormous for its time. Müller played his domestic league debut for his new club in the away game on 5 September 1943 as Basel drew 1–1 with Luzern.[1]
Müller spent fourteen years between the posts for RotBlau, mainly as their first choice goalkeeper, playing in total 380 matches. 249 of these games were in the Swiss Nationalliga and 42 were in the Swiss Cup. The other 89 were friendly games.[2]
His biggest success was the championship title in Basel's 1952–53 season. In addition to this title, Müller also reached the Swiss Cup final twice, one victory and one defeat. At the end of the 1943–44 cup season, on 10 April 1944 in the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern, Basel were defeated in the final by Lausanne Sport through three goals scored in the last five minutes. In Basel's 1946–47 season they won the final 3–0 against the same club. In the Stadion Neufeld on 7 April 1947 Paul Stöcklin scoring all three goals.[3]

On 10 August 1950 Football Club Basel played against Eishockey Club Basel. This was a return game for the ice hockey game EHC-FCB in December 1949. The football team won the football match 14–5.
