societies

Born from the Cologne district association VfL Poll , Jakobs moved to Hannover 96 for the 1937/38 season .

From then on, he played for the club in the Lower Saxony Gauliga , in one of the first 16, later increased to 23 Gauligen at the time of National Socialism as a uniform top division in the German Empire . In 1939 Jakobs was a temporary guest player at Dresdner SC .

By the end of the 1940/41 season he won four regional titles with the Hanoverian team. Two of them entitle him and his team to take part in the final round of the German championship. In 1938 he played all six group games in which he scored two goals, as well as the semi-final won 3-2 after extra time against Hamburger SV . As a right runner, he played a major role in reaching the final of the German championship against the favored team of FC Schalke 04 . In the replay that had become necessary - after the first final failed to produce a winner despite overtime with 3: 3 - he scored the 3: 3 equalizer with a hand penalty two minutes before the end of regular time and was then hit by Erich Meng's 4: 3 winning goal three minutes before the end of the 30-minute extension German champions.

In 1941 he played in the last two group matches and his last in a final round, which he crowned with a goal against Borussia Fulda .

National team

His career in the senior national team was, also due to the Second World War , very short; on June 29, 1939 in Tallinn he only played the international test match, which he won 2-0 against the Estonian national team .
