Career

Hoff moved in 1961 from SV Arminia Hannover to city rivals Hannover 96 , with whom he played in the old first-class Oberliga Nord in the last two rounds . The small and agile attacker made his debut on September 24, 1961 in a 0-0 home draw against VfL Osnabrück in the league. He stormed at the side of Fredy Heiser and Georg Kellermann . Otto Hartz led the 96 goalscorer list with 15 goals at the end of the round, Hoff had played eleven games and the "Reds" had taken 13th place. In the last year of the old league, 1962/63, Hoff only came to three missions and Hannover 96 was 9th not nominated for the new Bundesliga from the 1963/64 season. For the first season of the new second-rate Regionalliga Nord , 1963/64, the old successful coach Helmut Kronsbein was signed up again and the new players Horst Podlasly (goalkeeper), Werner Gräber and Walter Rodekamp . The 96ers were second in the table behind FC St. Pauli in the northern relay. Second place qualified for participation in the promotion round to the Bundesliga. Hanover prevailed against KSV Hessen Kassel , Alemannia Aachen and FK Pirmasens . Hoff had not played a competitive game in the Regionalliga or in the promotion round. For the next two years, Hoff played for the 96 in the Bundesliga and was used in 15 league games with six goals. On April 10, 1965, in a 4-2 home win against Karlsruher SC, he made his debut on right winger in the Bundesliga. He scored two goals. This was followed by three more appearances against 1. FC Kaiserslautern (4: 0, 1 goal), Borussia Neunkirchen (1: 1) and VfB Stuttgart (3: 0). The regular formation of the Bundesliga climber mostly ran in the formation with Heiser, Gräber, Rodekamp, Udo Nix and Jürgen Bandura and reached 5th place.

He started his second Bundesliga season with Hannover 96 on August 14, 1965 with a 1-0 away win at 1. FC Köln. He stormed the right wing at the side of Gräber, Rodekamp, ​​Nix and Bandura. In the course of the round he competed with Heiser for the place on the right wing and had scored three goals at the end of the round in eleven league appearances. New signing Hans Siemensmeyer had scored 15 goals in 30 games. For the 1966/67 season, the attacker then moved to 1. SC Göttingen 05 in the second-rate Regionalliga Nord.

Heiner Klose and Peter Klepatz also came to the black and yellow in the Leinestadt in the region of southern Lower Saxony . Under coach Fritz Rebell , Hoff scored 12 goals in 26 league appearances at the side of goalscorer Dietmar Mürdter (30-17) and the Maschpark-Elf won the runner-up ahead of Holstein Kiel (45: 19 points each) . The preliminary game ended on May 7, 1967 in front of 17,000 spectators 0-0 in Kiel. The strengths of the northern runner-up lay in fighting spirit and stamina. In the promotion round Hoff was in the games against Kickers Offenbach (0: 2), Alemannia Aachen (1: 2, 1: 3) and Tennis Borussia Berlin in action. Before his second round, in 1967/68, the departures of Reinhard Roder and Mürdter to 1. FC Köln had to be replaced, but with the newcomers Fred Englert , Peter Woldmann , Horst-Dieter Berking and Harald Evers , the sporting loss was absorbed. Hoff had to cope with a week-long break from injury and so only made eleven appearances in which he contributed two goals to the new runner-up . The recipe for success was the comradeship vigorously promoted by Trainer Rebell, which the motivational artist had refined with a legendary stamina and a modern offensive game consisting primarily of steep passes. In the third round of Hoff bei Göttingen, the zero fives took 4th place; Internal problems around the person as well as the way coach Rebell worked had prevented a better placement despite the good sporting newcomers Thomas Rohrbach and Hans-Joachim Weller .

After three years Regionalliga Nord with 51 games and 16 goals, Hoff moved on to Tasmania Berlin . In his first season he finished 3rd with the club from Neukölln in 1969/70. With Tasmania he won the Berlin Cup in 1970 and in 1971 under coach Hans Hipp master of the Regionalliga Berlin . In the championship round, Hoff had scored five goals in 33 league games alongside teammates like Horst Grunenberg (goalkeeper), Lothar Groß , Ivan Šangulin , Klaus Walleitner , Werner Ipta and striker Franz Emans (31 goals). In 1971 he also played six promotion round matches in the Bundesliga in which he scored one goal. The former fixed dribbler and king of flanks on the right wing had been the playmaker in midfield at Tasmania for two years. He left Tasmania in 1971 after 54 regional league games and 12 goals, his new employer was Bundesliga club Rot-Weiß Oberhausen , where Tas colleague Emans also moved.

He played in the Bundesliga for the next year and a half for the red and white four-leaf clover from the Niederrhein Stadium . In the 1971/72 round, RWO took 15th place under coach Günther Brocker and Hoff had scored six goals in 20 league appearances. After his sixth league use on 1 December 1972, at a 1: 1 draw at home to VfL Bochum where he had come in the 69th as a substitute for use, he ended his activity in Oberhausen and joined SVA Gütersloh in Regional League West on . Hoff made his debut at SVA under coach Michael Pfeiffer on January 14, 1973 in a 1-1 draw at Lüner SV. For Gütersloh he made 47 regional league appearances in which he scored nine goals and ended his career as a licensed player in the summer of 1974.
