Uli Hesse-Lichtenberger in Germany

The annual pre-season guide published by kicker magazine lists every Bundesliga club's trophies. Even Mainz has an entry under the heading "Titles", namely: 1982 German Amateur Champions. (An honour handed out between 1950 and 1998.) Currently, there are only three teams in the top flight for which kicker does not list a single title. They are 1899 Hoffenheim, SC Freiburg and VfL Bochum. And following Saturday's home defeat at the hands of the 1982 German Amateur Champions, all the signs are Bochum still won't have a title when kicker publishes its next pre-season guide.

Maybe they'll even no longer be a Bundesliga club.
