He was initially intended for the junior league, where he completed all games up to the 9th game day as a midfielder. On November 6, 1976 he had his debut in a league point game as a substitute in the encounter between FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt - FC Hansa (2-1). By the end of the season, 1.82 m tall Spandolf had a total of 13 league appearances, in which he was usually in the starting line-up and also scored two goals. At the end of the 1976/77 season, FC Hansa had to relegate to the GDR league , but managed to get promoted again immediately.

After Hansa Rostock could not hold the class again, Spandolf played from September 1979 to May 1981 for GDR league club Schiffahrt / Hafen Rostock . He played there a total of 40 point games and helped the team to win the relay in 1981.
