Hans-Jürgen "Dixie" Dörner (25 January 1951 – 19 January 2022) was a Germanfootball player and coach. He distinguished himself during his career by being named East Germany's player of the year three times (1977, 1984 and 1985) – the only East German player to do this besides goalkeeperJürgen Croy.
Dörner's playing career began in his hometown ofGörlitz in 1960 with amateur club BSG Energie WAMA Görlitz, and thenBSG Motor WAMA Görlitz. He joinedDynamo Dresden in 1968 where he won five first divisionDDR-Oberliga titles and fiveFDGB-Pokale (East German Cup), twice winning the DDR-Oberliga andFDGB-Pokal double. He captainedDynamo Dresden from 1977 until his retirement, and is the club's most decorated captain. He was voted the team's greatest player ever in 1999.
During his time at Dynamo Dresden, the club finished outside the top three in theDDR-Oberliga only once, which was a seventh place finish in the 1982–83 season.
He captained the team to their best European seasons, twice reaching the quarter finals of theEuropean Clubs' Champions Cup in 1977 and 1979. He also guided his team to quarter finals in the1975–76 UEFA Cup and both the1984–85 and the1985–86 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. This was seen as a great success against teams from Europe's big leagues. Dörner scored an amazing 65 goals in 392 top-flight games[2] for Dynamo Dresden, a record for a defender in theDDR-Oberliga.
He was capped 96 times for East Germany,[3] winning a gold medal as a vital part of that country's Olympic team at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
His career as a player ended in 1986, and he later took on the role of trainer for the East German Olympic squad in 1990. After German re-unification, he coached the Olympic youth side of the united country. From 6 January 1996 until 20 August 1997 he was the coach forBundesliga clubWerder Bremen. From 2006 to 2010 he coached Radebeuler BC 08 in the city league known as the Bezirksliga Dresden.
