Hejazi was the goalkeeper of the Taj F.C. and Iran during the 1970s. Hejazi first broke into the Taj side when he was only 18 years old and won the Asian Club Championship in 1970.After the 1978 FIFA World Cup Hejazi received an offer from Manchester United F.C., he trained and played with them for a month even appearing in a reserve match against Stoke City at which time Dave Sexton was coach. Manchester United F.C. wanted him to stay for another two or three months and then they would officially sign him. Unfortunately there was no-one at the IRFF at the time of the Islamic Revolution to arrange the extension so Manchester United F.C. signed Gary Bailey. He remained as Esteghlal's main goalkeeper until his retirement in the mid-eighties.
Hejazi joined up with the Team Melli, just in time to feature in the squad that
won the Asian Cup in 1968 and picked up two more in 1972 and 1976. He
represented Iran at the 1972 Munich Olympics and was Iran's starting goalkeeper
at the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina. He was captain of the national team
during the 1980 Asian Cup and played his last match for Iran in the semi-final
match versus Kuwait. After the tournament a member of Iran's Physical Education
Department implemented a plan in which athletes older than 27 years of age would
no longer be allowed to compete internationally. Hejazi was effectively forced
to retire from international football because of this rule despite being only 29
years old at the time of implementation.
