Originally a winger, he was moved down the pitch and quickly slotted in well in a league where technically astute and offensive wing backs were valued higher than more defensive counterparts elsewhere. Heintze's stunning stamina and work rate ensured him a long and highly succesful first spell with one of Dutch football's traditional top dogs. Søren Lerby, Frank Arnesen and Ivan Nielsen added to the Danish contingent in a club which achieved its finest hour in 1988 with a European Cup win against Benfica. Heintze played the whole game and was designated as PSV's sixth shooter in the inevitable penalty shoot-out, which he admitted to be not very content with in his autobiography, '20 Years on the Top'. Luckily for Heintze, PSV won the shoot-out before he had the chance to step up and PSV Eindhoven was Europe's top club team. He also won six Eresdivisie championships in this period, four of them in a row from '86-'89, along with two cup trophies. But the joy didn't last forever. In 1994, Aad de Mos became the new coach of PSV Eindhoven and Heintze was now persona non grata in the squad. He left Dutch football for Bayer Uerdingen in the German Bundesliga - a small club with whom he enjoyed a short but joyful spell as he told about in his autobiography. The club had huge succes in 1994/1995 by surviving the drop from Germany's top tier but they couldn't hold on the season after and Heintze moved on to the surging force of Bayer Leverkusen. In 1987, Heintze also got his first of 86 caps for the senior national team and he was selected for the EURO 1988 Championship in Germany the year after, playing in all Denmark's three group games. Heintze was designated along with players such Flemming Povlsen, Jan Bartram, Henrik Andersen, Peter Schmmeichel, Lars Olsen and Michael Laudrup to be the ones who were to carry on the staffage of the Danish Dynamite team of the mid-80's who had captured the world so immensely with their free-flowing and yet no-nonsense football. This mission didn't succeed on the first attempt but Heintze's international career was going to collide with Richard Møller Nielsen who took over from Sepp Piontek following the failed qualification for the 1990 World Cup. Before a EURO '92 qualifier against Yugoslavia, Heintze was told, much to his disbelief, that he wouldn't be playing and took the chance of instead going to Holland to play in a cup tie for PSV Eindhoven. This was done without the permission of Møller Nielsen and as a result, Heintze was banned from the national team and could only watch as a spectator the following Summer when his former team mates ran out as sensational winners of the European Championship. However, the left back was to get his own back...
