That season, Tune-Hansen had scored one goal in 33 Bundesliga appearances, which was against Bayern Munich,[6] but he also scored an own goal in the 4–0 defeat against 1. FC Saarbrücken.[7]

After another season in the jersey of the St. Pauli, Tune-Hansen left the club after the club did not receive a license and was therefore relocated to the Oberliga Nord.[8] He signed with VfL Osnabrück for the 1979–80 season.[9] He made his debut on the first matchday of the season against SV Arminia Hannover (2–0 loss).[10] There, too, he became a regular starter, and left the club after three years where they had finished in midtable in the 2.
