Heinz Bonn
Heinz Bonn (born January 27, 1947 in Siegen , † † November 28, 1991 in Hanover ) was a German football player .
Career
After initially going through the youth teams of SuS Niederschelden / Gosenbach in his home town of Niederschelden , he switched to local rivals Sportfreunde Siegen as a youth player . From there he changed to the Regionalliga West for Wuppertaler SV and played in 1970 with Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga . Heinz Bonn was nicknamed "Eisenfuß" in Hamburg because of his fighting game. He had to come to terms with a serious knee injury, because of which he only made 13 appearances as a defender in three Bundesliga seasons at HSV.
When he was found dead in his apartment in Hanover on December 5, 1991 , according to technical police investigations, he had been murdered by a male prostitute a week earlier. Some German media, including Der Spiegel (in an article from October 29, 2004), describe Heinz Bonn as the first Bundesliga player whose homosexuality became known.
