Soccer career

Young players

1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig nominated Heiko Liebers for the first time for the 1984/85 season as a striker for the junior league. In the previous season, Liebers won the youth championship with the 16-year-olds for 1. FC Lok. In the summer of 1985 he was appointed to the squad of the GDR junior national team, and on July 13, 1985, he played his first international junior match against North Korea (7-1) as part of the youth friendship competition in Bulgaria. As a substitute in the 71st minute, he scored the seventh goal for the GDR selection in the 83rd minute. After Liebers had played all five games of the friendship tournament, he had to wait two years before he was used again in the junior selection. In the fall of 1987, at that time he was playing for the second division club BSG Motor Grimma , he was part of the squad for the 1987 World Youth Championship in Chile. There he played five of the six tournament games, including the game for 3rd place, which the GDR U-20s won in front of 70,000 spectators after a 3-1 on penalties against the hosts. In total, Liebers played as a striker in 1985 and 1987, eleven international junior matches, in which he scored four goals.

First and second division football in the GDR

In the 1985/86 season, in which the attacker was top scorer in the junior league with 23 goals, Liebers played his first games in the men's division of 1. FC Lok Leipzig. In addition to appearances for 1. FC Lok Leipzig II in the third-class district league , he also played a cup game with the first team. He came to his first assignment in the GDR league in the 1986/87 season. In the match on the second match day between BSG Wismut Aue and the Leipzigers (1-0) on August 23, 1986, he was substituted on in the 77th minute. In the meantime he had also completed his training as a maintenance mechanic. At the end of 1986 Liebers was delegated to the club and given to the GDR league team from Motor Grimma. There he immediately won a regular place and was only missing in one point game by the end of the season. With six championship goals he was the second best scorer in the Grimma team. Also in 1987/88 the 1.72 meter tall Liebers was runner-up in Grimma with ten goals and played 29 of the 34 point games. With 18 goals in the 1988/89 season he was not only the best shooter at Motor Grimma, he also landed fourth on the list of goalscorers in the GDR league. In the championship he played all 34 games.

With his good performances in Grimma, Liebers became interesting again for 1. FC Lok Leipzig, and he was brought back to the Leipzig league team for the 1989/90 season. However, he could not meet expectations and did not get beyond the status of a substitute player. In the 26 league games of the season, he was only used ten times between the 3rd and 20th matchday and never played through. He scored his only league goal on the 15th matchday, March 3, 1990, when he scored 1-0 in the match 1. FC Lok - Wismut Aue (2-1) in the 21st minute.

He played 135 point games and scored 54 championship goals. In the 1996/97 season he was team top scorer again with 20 goals.
