Football career

Michael Dahms had his first professional assignment in 1977 for Hamburger SV with a short assignment in the UEFA Intertoto Cup against the Swedish club Malmö FF , otherwise he was not part of the first team at Hamburger SV and had the status of a contract amateur there until 1981. This time was interrupted by a one-year guest appearance in the 1979/80 season at the northern upper division VfB Lübeck . After Dahms had left HSV for the second time in 1981, he moved to SV Lurup , who had just been promoted to the amateur Oberliga Nord . Dahms came for the Hamburg district club to 20 missions, but could not prevent SV Lurup from having to accept the direct relegation.

Instead of going into the association league with the Lurupers, the Lübeck-born player joined FC St. Pauli , which was active in the amateur Oberliga Nord in the 1982/83 season . The newcomer integrated very quickly and was in the starting line-up in all 34 games of the season. With 14 goals he was the most successful goalscorer of the St. Paulians and thus contributed significantly to the fact that the team could celebrate the Oberliga championship. In the subsequent round of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, however, the Hamburgers could not convince and took last place in their group with Rot-Weiß Oberhausen , SC Charlottenburg and SC Eintracht Hamm . Dahms was used in all six games of the promotion round and scored one goal. The following season was similarly successful for Dahms and FC St.Pauli. From the 8th matchday on, the offensive player was in the starting line-up in all games and was able to score ten goals in a total of 30 games. At the end of the season, St. Pauli only finished second in the table behind the champions SV Werder Bremen Am. , but this second place also entitles FC St. Pauli to participate in the promotion round. This time the people of Hamburg took their chance and were promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga as second in their group together with Blau-Weiß 90 Berlin . In the 1984/85 season , FC St.Pauli just missed relegation and was one point behind FC 08 Homburg in the first relegation place. Dahms was used in 29 games and scored a total of four goals, including a memorable 4-5 defeat at KSV Hessen Kassel when St. Pauli was still 4-1 at halftime. In the following season , the Millerntor team succeeded in direct promotion. After becoming champions in the Oberliga Nord in front of VfB Oldenburg , you could leave Rot-Weiss Essen , SC Charlottenburg, VfB Oldenburg and ASC Schöppingen behind in the promotion round as group winners . Including the promotion round, Dahms played 41 games and scored ten times, including two important goals in the two games of the promotion round against SC Charlottenburg. For St. Pauli, Dahms played 97 games (9 goals) in the second division and 65 games (2 goals) in the Bundesliga, including three relegation games . In the relegation he played third in the 1986/87 season of the 2nd division when he missed promotion against FC 08 Homburg and in 1990/91 as table 16. the 1st league in the first game when relegated against the Stuttgarter Kickers . A well-known goal by Michael Dahms was a goal against Inter Milan with Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on May 30, 1985 in a friendly match for the 75th anniversary of FC St. Pauli. After relegation, he left St. Pauli to play for a year at VfB Lübeck in the Schleswig-Holstein Association League (4th division).

The popularity of Michael Dahm during his time at FC St. Pauli is reflected in the fact that the readers of the Hamburger Abendblatt voted him in March 2010 in St. Pauli's eleven of the century .

After his professional career, he played from 1992 at SV Halstenbek-Rellingen , a Schleswig-Holstein club on the city limits of Hamburg . From 1998 he was assistant coach there, for the 2002/03 season coach of the league club until he was replaced by Hans-Jürgen Stammer. Michael Dahms now plays in the traditional team of FC St. Pauli and in the HSV old league. He was one of 16 scouts for Hamburg HSV . Since July 2012 he has held the position as a junior scout at FC St. Pauli. It also operates a sporting goods store in Rellingen .
