SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin - Dubious Distinctions

Dubious Distinctions

As the worst team in Bundesliga history, SC Tasmania 1900 Berlin is the holder of a number of dubious records:

  • 50th out of 50 in all-time Bundesliga standings
  • fewest points collected in a season: 8 points under the old scoring method of two points for a win, 10 points under today's system that allows three points for a win
  • fewest wins in a season: 2 (tied by Wuppertaler SV in 1974–1975)
  • most defeats in a season: 28
  • only Bundesliga team without an away win
  • longest winless streak: 31 games (14 August 1965 – 21 May 1966)
  • most home defeats in a season: 12
  • most consecutive home losses: 8 games (28 August 1965 – 8 December 1965), tied by Hansa Rostock in 2004–05
  • most consecutive losses: 10 matches, tied by Arminia Bielefeld in 1999–2000, whose fans began to derisively chant "Tasmania Bielefeld!" during the record tying match
  • worst ever goals for-and-against: 15–108
  • fewest ever goals for a team's leading scorer: 4 by Wulf-Ingo Usbeck
  • biggest losing margin at home: 0–9 to Meidericher SV (26 March 1966); this record was almost tied when Bayer Leverkusen won at SSV Ulm 1846 9–1 in 2000, Leandro Fonseca scored for Ulm in injury time
  • until 1993, most minutes played without scoring a goal: 831 minutes (2 October 1965 – 11 December 1965), since surpassed by 1. FC Saarbrücken and 1. FC Köln
  • smallest ever crowd at a Bundesliga game: 827 (15 January 1966 against Borussia Mönchengladbach) after crowds of 81,500 at their first home game and 70,000 at their second

Famous quotes containing the words dubious and/or distinctions:

    I have known a number of Don Juans who were good studs and who cavorted between the sheets without a psychiatrist to guide them. But most of the busy love-makers I knew were looking for masculinity rather than practicing it. They were fellows of dubious lust.
    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    ...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.
    Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
