Career

Worm began his career at his hometown-club MSV Duisburg, for which he made 231 appearances in the Bundesliga between 1971 and 1979, scoring 71 goals. In 1979 he was bought by Eintracht Braunschweig for a transfer fee of 1 million Deutsche Mark to replace Harald Nickel, who had just left the club for Borussia Mönchengladbach.[2] He went on to play for Braunschweig until he retired from the game in 1987 after not receiving an offer for a new contract from the club.[3]

International career

Worm was capped seven times for the West German national team between 1975 and 1978, scoring five goals. He was part of the West German squads for the 1976 Euro and 1978 World Cup, but did not play in either tournament.
