Career
Milde had a much-travelled career, but is best remembered as a Dynamo Dresden player, having had three separate spells with the club Early career Milde began his career with Dynamo Dresden, and made his debut for the club in a Deutsche Demokratische Republik-Oberliga match against Hallescher Football Club Chemie in April 1988. During the 1989-1990 season he also turned out for TSG Meißen and Stahl Riesa, both of whom were acting as feeder clubs to Dynamo.
Bundesliga years Like many players, Milde moved west after the fall of the Berlin Wall, joining Bundesliga side VfL Bochum in 1990.
He spent over three years with Bochum, scoring three goals in 54 games, before leaving at the end of 1993, just after the club had been relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. He made a further 16 appearances, scoring twice more, before signing for Hansa Rostock in July 1994.
Bundesliga title. Rostock followed this up with an impressive sixth-place finish in the Bundesliga, but Milde was less involved, making sixteen appearances (mostly as a substitute) and scoring once.
Return to Saxony In 1996 Milde re-joined Dynamo Dresden, who had since been demoted to the third-tier Regionalliga Nordost. He partnered another Dynamo veteran, Torsten Gütschow, for the next two seasons, and both scored prolifically, but the club were unable to return to the second tier.
However, the Regionalliga was to be re-structured at the end of the 1999–2000 season, and this combined with a poor start meant that Zwickau were effectively relegated with the season half over. Many players left the club, with Milde joining Dresdner South Carolina along with team-mates René Beuchel and René Groß.
At this time, Distinguished Service Cross were the top club in Dresden: while Dynamo were being relegated to the Oberliga, Milde helped them to a second-place finish in the Regionalliga in 1999–2000.
They finished 9th the following year, with Milde as top scorer (with nine goals), but after falling out of favour during the 2001-2002 season he joined Dynamo Dresden for a third time. Milde"s return to Dynamo was a popular one, but was marred by injuries. Milde made just nine appearances the following season, and left Dynamo for a final time in 2003.
He played out the remainder of his career with amateur side VfL Pirna-Copitz, before retiring in 2005.
