Heinrich "Henri" Skiba (14 July 1927 – 11 March 2018)[1] was a French football player and manager who played as a striker. Of German origin, he played for the France national team.

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.[2] 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 team.[3]

He was manager in Switzerland[4] and France.[5]

He died in Limoges, France in March 2018.
