His career began as a striker with Viktoria Harburg . Since the Hamburg paper wholesaler Wilhelm "Schaute" Tiemann placed talented players on the northern side of the Elbe for the Hamburger SV club in the 1930s, Friedo Dörfel also joined HSV during the 1933/34 season. His first league appearances for the "Rautträger" he completed in 1934/35 in the Gauliga Nordmark, when he scored 14 goals in 18 league games at the side of brother Richard , Rudolf Noack and Karl Politz in the attack of the runner-up. He won his first championship title in 1936/37 and was therefore able to prove himself for the first time in the final round of the German soccer championship .

He was considered an important cog in the success of HSV. He was exceptionally fast and really had dynamite in his feet: With his teammates "Pino" Danek, Reinhardt and Sikorski he also successfully took part in 4x100 meter races. The kickers even defeated the HSV track and field athletes twice, who were among the best in the Reich at the time. From 1941 he was part of the "guest player" at Dessau 05 with Erwin Seeler during the Second World War.

Friedo Dörfel was considered quiet and versatile. A bird of paradise, showman and joker - like his eccentric son "Charly" - was not the level-headed and introverted head person.

He mastered football equally well in practice and theory, as his son Bernd likes to tell: “Father was a tough and fast player who nevertheless exuded a certain elegance. He was our role model and, as a trainer, pointed out our mistakes in a constructive sense ”. He was the spiritual head of the family. The Dörfels lived in Grabestraße in Altona-Altstadt from 1946 and father Friedo initially provided a haulage company for the family. Later, the Dörfel couple ran the popular football club "Dörfel's Eck" in Hamburg-Harburg until 1962.
