career

Since 1971 Dronia has belonged to the youth department of MSV Duisburg and was accepted into the Bundesliga squad for the 1976/77 season together with his A-youth colleagues Norbert Fruck and Ulrich Hintzen . Due to problems of getting used to the stresses in the professional field, injuries and his military service, the defensive player did not make his Bundesliga debut until the 1978/79 season under coach Rolf Schafstall . In the away game on August 19, 1978 against FC Bayern Munich, he was substituted for Rudolf Seliger in the Bundesliga for the first time in a 2: 6 defeat in the 77th minute . The junior player played his first Bundesliga game from kick-off on August 26, in a 3-0 home defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach. He played as right defender at the side of Kees Bregman , Ditmar Jakobs and Bernard Dietz and had primarily dealt with the Gladbach attackers Rudi Gores , Allan Simonsen and Ewald Lienen . At the end of the round, the MSV finished 13th and Dronia had played in 27 league games. The real sporting highlight took place in the games for the UEFA Cup . On the way to the semifinals, Dronia played six games against Carl Zeiss Jena, Racing Strasbourg and Honved Budapest. In the semi-finals in April 1979 he was on the field against Mönchengladbach both times. In the 2-2 home draw against the Bökelberg eleven, he formed the defensive in front of goalkeeper Gerhard Heinze with Bregman, Jakobs and Peter Fenten , supported by midfield with Manfred Dubski , Herbert Büssers , Dietz and playmaker Kurt Jara . The home game decided Mönchengladbach with 4-1 goals and thus moved into the final. With the use on May 31, 1980 in a 0-2 home defeat against Fortuna Düsseldorf, he played his last competitive game for MSV Duisburg.

As a subsequent commitment, he moved to the round 1980/81 to the promoted Arminia Bielefeld. He experienced his first Bundesliga minutes for the Arminen on September 3, 1980 in a 2-2 away draw at Bayer Uerdingen, when he was substituted on in the 81st minute. The highly traded climber made a false start with 1:11 points and replaced promotion trainer Hans-Dieterippenhauer on October 21 with Willi Nolting , who was replaced by Horst Franz on December 1, 1980 . Dronia belonged to the Arminen team on matchday 30, May 9, 1981, as a right-back defender, which achieved the decisive victory to keep the league against Munich 1860 3-2. Under coach Franz, he completed 33 league games in 1981/82 when he reached 12th rank and scored four goals. In the round under Franz's successor Horst Köppel , 1982/83, he was not used due to protracted injuries. In the preview of the round 1983/84 in the special Kicker issue is noted: “All football fans around the Alm hope that something will finally come in the new season with Norbert Dronia, the team in defense is finally stabilized. There is no doubt that Feldkamps [the new coach] is the first goal and that he also manages to bring security to the back rows. "With a goal difference of 40:49 compared to last year with 46:71, coach Karlheinz Feldkamp succeeded - he was replaced by Gerd Roggensack on March 23, 1984 - and Dronia had actually participated in 27 missions and three goals.

Dronia was eighth with Bielefeld in 1983 and 1984. The 1984/85 season ended the Arminia third from bottom and lost in the relegation against 1. FC Saarbrücken , which the team relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga . Dronia then ended his career in higher-class football.
