Athletic career

Harry Heiner began his career in high-class football at the age of 20 with the company sports club BSG Motor Gera in the GDR Oberliga , the top division in GDR football . After only two league games at the end of the 1950/51 season, he was called up almost regularly in midfield from the 6th matchday of the 1951/52 season and shot his first league goal on the 31st matchday in the Gera home game win against Stahl Thale .

For the 1952/53 season Heiner joined the league newcomer and local rival Motor Jena . In Jena he immediately became a regular again and came in his three seasons with BSG Motor in a total of 84 played point games on 79 missions, in which he was mainly called up as a right defender. Since the Jenaer relegated from the league again after one season, Heiner played only 32 league games for Jena. He scored the second league goal of his career in the match between Motor Jena and Motor Dessau in a 4-0 win. In all three seasons at Motor Jena he scored a total of eight goals. He scored six goals alone in the 1954/55 season, with four times he distinguished himself as a safe penalty taker. In 1953 and 1954 Heiner played several international friendly matches with the selection of the Motor Sports Association , in which he was used as a defender. He was also in 1954 in the preparatory squad of the GDR national team for an international game against Poland, in which he was not used.

After the end of the 1954/55 season, Heiner left the GDR and started negotiations with the first division club Hannover 96 . Shortly before signing the contract, however, he moved to TSV Havelse in the Lower Saxony amateur league (II. League). After a year in second class, the TSV was downgraded to the third class amateur league because of a violation of the statutes. For the 1957/58 season there was finally a contract with Hannover 96, where Heiner was mainly active as a midfielder for three seasons. In his first Hanoverian season he was used relatively regularly from the 7th match day and came in the end to 16 missions in the 32-long season. In the two following seasons he was only used five or four times. Overall, Heiner played 25 games in the Oberliga Nord and only scored one goal. In the summer of 1960 he ended his 29-year-old career in high-class football.
