Avi Cohen was the first Israeli player to play for Liverpool. Back at 1980 he was the first ever non-british player to sign with Liverpool.
Now, including Tamir Cohen (midfielder) there are 4 Israeli players at the Premier League : Yossi Benayoun, Tal Ben-Haim (Chel$ki), Ben Sahar (Chel$ki - back from loan with QPR) and Tamir.
Avi Cohen's biggest moment with Liverppol was the game against Aston Villa at the end of the 1980 season. Liverpool needed a win to win the championship. Cohen scored two goals at the Kop (one in each half
). Liverppol won 4-1.
