Thomas Arendt (born November 23, 1958 ) is a former German football player who was active in 1986 for the BSG Stahl Brandenburg in the GDR Oberliga .

Athletic career

Arendt spent most of the years in high-class football with the company sports association Stahl Brandenburg. He started there in the 1977/78 season, when BSG Stahl played in the second-rate GDR league . The 1.71 m tall striker played his first competitive game on October 8, 1977 in the league match between Stahl Brandenburg and BSG Chemie Premnitz (1-0). In May 1978 Arendt had to begin his one and a half year military service. In October 1979 he returned to Stahl Brandenburg and was reintegrated into the GDR league team.

1983 Arendt was with the BSG Stahl League season winner, which thus took part in the promotion games to the GDR Oberliga. With third place in the promotion round, the Brandenburgers missed the promotion. Arendt was involved in all eight qualifying games and together with Rainer Sachse from Riesa scored the most goals with five goals. In the following season Stahl Brandenburg was again the season winner. After Arendt had only been used thirteen times in the 22 point games (two goals), he now only played one promotion game. This time Brandenburg won the promotion round and rose to the top division.

Despite his bad record in the preseason, Arendt was nominated as a striker for the league season 1984/85. But he could not prevail against the storm duo Frank Jeske and Holger Döbbel . Even when Jeske injured himself long-term in the second half of the season, Peter Schoknecht was preferred to him, and Arendt only came on four times as a substitute in the league games.

At the end of the season, BSG Stahl deleted Arendt from their squad and in the summer of 1985 he joined the GDR league team Motor Babelsberg . There he played twelve of the 17 point games in the first half of the 1985/86 season, in which he scored four goals. At the beginning of the second half of the season, Arendt moved to the third-class district division Motor Ludwigsfelde . With this team he won the district championship and the promotion round to the GDR league, so that he was back in second-rate football in 1986/87. With 30 missions (goalless) in 34 point games, he was a regular at Ludwigsfelder, as well as in the season 1987/88, in which he played 31 point games and scored one goal. In the meantime, almost 30 years old, Arendt returned to the Potsdam district league in the summer of 1988, where he joined the BSG Chemie Premnitz and never returned to higher-class football. As a recreational footballer, he was still active in 2013 in the traditional BSG Stahl Brandenburg team.
