Pat Heard (born 17 March 1960 in Hull) is an English retired football midfielder and left-back.
In the mid-70s, Heard attended Malet Lambert High School and played for Hull City Schoolboys and Humberside Boys. He was spotted by Jeff Barmby who tipped off Everton reserve team manager Ray Henderson. As a product of the youth system at Everton, left-footer Heard made eleven appearances for the club.
In October 1979, the young midfielder was signed by Aston Villa at a valuation of £150,000 (2015: £680,000) in a deal which saw John Gidman move the other way. Heard made nine appearances in his first season at Villa Park but was not one of just 14 players used by Ron Saunders to become League champions in the following season. He scored a goal during a 4-3 defeat to Arsenal at Highbury in March 1982 and scored the winner in a 0-1 victory away to local rivals, West Bromwich Albion in May that year.
Pat Heard won a European Cup medal after being named as a substitute for the 1982 European Cup Final, although he was not used during the match.The following European Cup season, Heard played for the defending champions in the 3-1 victory over Beşiktaş J.K..
