The HSV is the only club to have played in each and every season of the German Bundesliga since the creation of the league in 1963.
In the early days, the club enjoyed non-consecutive titles at local leagues from 1937 to 1945. Afterwards, while playing in the Oberliga Nord, the team managed to score more than 100 goals per season in 1951, 1955, 1961 and 1962.
Being one of the teams that were never relegated to a minor league since they joined the Bundesliga, SV managed to stay on top of the charts from 1963 to 1987.
The club has enjoyed several championships’ titles in the Germany premier league, the German Cup and the German League Cup, earning the last one on this cup in 2003.
Even though the team has not achieved a Bundesliga title in 18 years, they imposed in the second half of last season 2007-08 and will be looking to pick up in the form they left off.
Manager Martin Jol is looking for an exciting and influential midfield combination that has the ability to drive the club amongst the top teams in the League for this 2008-09 campaign.
