Career
Born in New Caledonia to Vietnamese parents, Hiển repatriated with his family back to North Vietnam at the end of 1963. At the same year, he and his brother Từ Như Thành began their football career, playing for Thanh niên Hà Nội. He was nicknamed as "Hiển Cóoc" as people had mistaken that he came from Corse island, another French territory. Shortly after, he signed for Công An Hà Nội and later became the club legend, winning several top scorer awards and national titles for the team.{{Cite web|url=https://cand.com.vn/the-thao/doi-tuyen-cong-an-ha-noi-va-cai-duyen-voi-nhung-viet-kieu-i704024/|title=Đội tuyển Công an Hà Nội và cái duyên với những Việt kiều|date=17 August 2023 }}{{Cite web|url=https://cand.com.vn/the-thao/cuu-danh-thu-clb-cong-an-ha-noi-tu-nhu-hien-qua-doi-i707332/|title=Cựu danh thủ CLB Công an Hà Nội Từ Như Hiển qua đời|date=15 September 2023 }}
