OSV Hannover

This obscure Hannover club has pretty much disappeared off the radar screen.

OSV was founded in 1933, but in 1937 they merged with MTV Groß Buchholz, which apparently had been founded in 1923, so OSV conveniently claimed an older heritage.

The club was completely obscure until 1970, when they suddenly made the jump to the old Regionalliga Nord. After a few seasons, they dropped down a division, but by 1980 they qualified for the new 2.Liga-Nord. They lasted two years before being relegated an dropping into obscurity and off the face of the earth. Obviously the club is still kicking around in some division in local Hannover leagues, but only remain a poignant memory for most soccer fans.

After almost going bankrupt, the club managed to get things straightened out. They were unbeaten at home for almost 2 years, and climbed back into the Bezirksliga in 2006.
