    Nick Blackman is Jewish on his mother's side. His father is of African descent.

    You can't just post names here that sound Jewish. You have to back it up with proof. Most of thenames come from Israeli sport sites when these players show up for a trial or transfer. Others are found via Jewish newspapers like The Jewish Chronicle (United Kingdom), Jewish Report (South Africa), Jewish News (Australia) etc.

    Some players want say that they have Jewish heritage so surnames can help a little..For example I know that Juan Pablo Sorin is Catholic...but he has Jewish heritage.

    Come on guys. We had three Jews in this match. Jonathan Spector got a rare start as did Tal Ben-Haim. Spector went 90 minutes for Avram Grant and scored a brace. It is rumored that Spector is on his way out at West Ham. It would be awesome if Maccabi Haifa picked him up. A quality player who would help the club push for the UEFA Champions League.

    West Ham United F.C. 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.
    Fulltime

    Avram Grant's men were in desperate need for three points. Jonathan Spector did not dress today and rumors are abound that he has already rejected a move to German club, 1. FC Köln. With Grant looking to spend in the January transfer window and reportedly interested in bringing Tamir Cohen in, Spector could already be on his way out. Tal Ben-Haim though solidified his place in defense by providing the assist on the second goal.

    Hartlepool United F.C. 4-2 Oldham Athletic A.F.C.
    Fulltime

    South African born midfielder, Dean Furman, took up his usual role. Furman came off after sixty-five minutes with his side down 3-1. He was replaced by French striker, Cedric Evina.

    Morecambe F.C. 1-2 Accrington Stanley F.C.
    Fulltime

    Welsh defender Joe Jacobson went the entire distance for Stanley as they secured three points on the road. Jacobson will be returning to Oldham in the coming days as his loan deal is set to expire.

    Hamilton Academical F.C. 0-0 Motherwell F.C.
    Fulltime

    On loan striker, Nick Blackman went eighty-nine minutes before being subbed off. The English striker should be finishing up his loan and either returning to Blackburn Rovers or continuing on loan.

    Rodrigo Goldberg

    Rodrigo Goldberg (born August 9, 1971) is a former Chilean international football player. As a player, he gained national notoriety in Israel for his talented play with Maccabi Tel Aviv and good use of the Hebrew language.[1] Today, he works as a commentator on Canal del Fútbol in Chile.

    Goldberg was an integral part of the Maccabi Tel Aviv squad that took back to back cup titles and a league championship thereafter.[2] He had a strained relationship with club captain, Avi Nimni, and even verbally criticized him in the Israeli media before returning to Chile.

    Maybe he converted
    "After playing for four seasons in Israel, Goldberg returned to his native Chile to play for Santiago Morning. During a club match against Palestino, he was subjected to anti-semitic abuse from the oppositions supporters because of his polish and German Jewish background"

    Rudolf 'Rudy' Wetzer (March 17, 1901 – April 13, 1993) was the captain and team-coach alongside Octav Luchide, under the management of Costel Rădulescu of the first Romanian side to participate in a FIFA World Cup. He was a Jewish-Romanian footballer.
    Wetzer owed his position as team captain to a decision by Costel Rădulescu in the weeks prior to the tournament. In May, 1930 the Romanians had lost the King Alexandru's Cup (a two team event) to Yugoslavia in Belgrade. At the time Emerich Vogl was team captain. Wetzer was brought back into the side two weeks' later for a friendly against Greece in Bucharest. This decision reaped considerable rewards for both Rădulescu and Wetzer because Wetzer scored 5 goals in an 8-1 victory for his team. In total Wetzer was to play 17 times for Romania scoring 13 goals.
    Romania had been grouped with Uruguay and Peru in the tournament, defeating the Peruvians 3-1 before losing to the eventual winners and hosts 4-0. The second of these games was held at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.
    Wetzer was a very prolific scorer for Romania. He was the top goalscorer of the 1929-1931 (first) edition of the Balkan Cup (which Romania won). He scored 7 goals for his country in that tournament alone.
    In club football Wezter played for Juventus Bucureşti (who were Romanian national champions in 1929-1930 season)[1], as such he was a colleague of squad members Vogl and Ladislau Raffinsky. In the 1920s he had played for Unirea Timişoara (appearing, whilst with them, at the 1924 Olympic Games) and Chinezul before moving on. His last matches for Romania (played while he was playing for Ripensia were in 1932; his last match came in a 2-0 defeat to Bulgaria in Belgrade.[2] Otherwise he played for BSK Belgrade, Újpest FC, Hyères FC, ILSA Timişoara and Craiovan Craiova. While playing in Hungary, he used the name Rudolf Veder, in Serbia, Rudolf Večer.
    After retiring as a footballer Wetzer became a trainer. In 1958, during a purge by the ruling national party against "revisionism and bourgeois ideology, indiscipline and descriptive anarchic elements" Wetzer became subject to an order forbidding him from "leaving the collective in which he was engaged without good reason, under penalty of being expelled from the trainers' corps.[3]



    Samuel Zauber (born January 1, 1901, died June 12, 1986) was a Romanian association football player who was on the Romanian national football team for the first ever FIFA World Cup in 1930.

    Club
    Zauber played his club football for Jewish side, Maccabi Bucureşti.
    [edit]International
    Zauber was the back up goalkeeper for Romania at the 1930 FIFA World Cup in Uruguay. Afterwards, he represented Romania in the Balkan Cup.[1]

    Very Young players :D
