Career

Heiden already played in his youth at BSC Oppau and from the 1961/62 season in the then first-class football league Southwest . The 18-year-old young talent made his debut on August 20, 1961 in a 2: 5 away defeat against Sportfreunde Saarbrücken in the league. At the end of the round he had played in 28 games and scored ten goals when reaching 11th rank. He was a versatile player, he could be used in attack as well as in defense. In the last year of the old first-class league, 1962/63, he was active in 29 of 30 games and scored five goals for the 14th of the table. He has played a total of 57 games in two rounds in the Oberliga Südwest and scored 15 goals. In the 1963/64 round he played with Oppau in the newly founded Regionalliga Südwest . At the side of teammates like Walter Gogel (15 goals) and Egon Reffert, Heiden played 32 league games and scored eight goals. The BSC finished 16th and was relegated to the amateur league.

For the 1964/65 season he accepted an offer from the Saarland Bundesliga promoter Borussia Neunkirchen and switched to the black and white team in the Ellenfeld Stadium . In addition to Heiden, Borussia had signed Werner Müller from Dudweiler and Gottfried Peter from the amateurs of 1. FC Saarbrücken. Müller remained without a mission and Peter came on two missions with one goal. Heiden completed 24 Bundesliga games in the team of coach Horst Buhtz and scored five goals when he reached 10th rank. The man from Oppau made his debut on August 22, 1964 on the start of the round in a 2-0 away defeat at 1. FC Nuremberg in the Bundesliga. He ran as a center forward in the World Cup system that was played at the time and had to deal with Ludwig Müller and Horst Leupold in the cover center of the "club" in the majority of the duels . The nominal left wing of Borussia with Erwin Glod and Dieter Harig consistently strengthened the defense. The attacking efforts of the top Elmar May and Heiden were supported by half-forward Paul Pidancet . On the second Bundesliga matchday, August 29, in a 2-1 home defeat against Borussia Dortmund, Heiden scored his first Bundesliga goal. For the second Bundesliga season, 1965/66, the efforts with the newcomers with Werner Görts (28-1), Gerd Peehs (20-0) and Jürgen Wingert (19-5) succeeded better, in return the "climbers" could no longer repeat the previous year's performance. Defense chief Erich Leist and star striker May could not play all games due to injuries and Glod and Hans Schreier were about to end their careers. While the Buhtz-Elf had played the round with 44:48 goals in 1964/65, the 1965/66 balance was massively negative with 32:82 goals and relegation with 22:46 points was unavoidable. Heiden played in 28 games in the second year - mostly in defense - and scored one goal.

In the 1966/67 season he was only used in five games when Borussia Neunkirchen won the championship in the Regionalliga Südwest, and in the summer of 1967 he left the Saarland and moved to FSV Frankfurt in the Regional Football League South . On Bornheimer Hang he came in 1967/68 at the side of teammates like Erich Wolf (goalkeeper), Reinhold Nedoschil and Walter Szaule on 17 regional league appearances with one goal. At the end of the round, the team was relegated. Heiden returned to the Regionalliga Südwest, he moved to FC 08 Homburg . There he played under coach Herbert Binkert until 1970 and completed 55 league games in the Waldstadion and scored 14 goals. Then he went back to his home club BSC Oppau, this was the last station in Heiden's playing career.
