#8 SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin 1965-1966
Trending
Just before the start of the Bundesliga’s inaugural season, for political reasons, the German football association wanted to have a club from the city of Berlin in the league, after Hertha BSC was removed. The winner of the second division in German football had already failed to advance and the second place team had refused the offer.
Tasmania 1900 Berlin took their place in the Bundesliga and the side soon became synonymous with dreadful football. Over the course of one embarrassing and forgetful season, Tasmania set record after record; from most goals conceded, fewest goals scored, most consecutive defeats (now shared with Bielefeld), most defeats – the list is never ending.
The club was eventually relegated in their first and only season in German top flight football and ten years later, declared bankruptcy. Their legend still lives on, however, as one of the most unsuccessful top flight teams ever to be seen.
