Guillaume Katz is a 22-year-old Swiss defender who plays for Lausanne in the Swiss Super League. Hapoel Tel Aviv are looking at signing him, along with Young Boys and Bundesliga clubs. http://one.co.il/Article/193178.html
Here is another one for you. Robin Shroot of Stevenage F.C. in England's League One. Pretty high level level compared to the last player from the UK to make aliyah, Josh Kennet. Kennet now plays for a non-league Jewish club called London Maccabi Lions. Really wish that we could see Joe Jacobson and Robin Shroot play in Israel. If you ask me, they are perfect for a club like Kiryat Shmona or Maccabi Haifa. Don't send them though to Maccabi Tel Aviv. That place is a career killer. Just ask Rudi Haddad and Gary Assous.

Re: List A great article about Rodrigo Goldberg: http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/sports/chile-s-jewish-soccer-star-1.419631
Jewish Sports Hall of Fame inductee Debbie Belkin Rademacher - Soccer Until recently, Debbie was the head coach of the women's soccer team at the University of Michigan. A three-time All-America at the University of Massachusetts (1985-87), Debbie played on the U.S. Women's National team from 1986-1992. In 2000, Soccer America named her to the Women's College Soccer Team of the Century. She is a member of the Massachusetts State Hall of Fame and a member of the University of Massachusetts Athletic Hall of Fame. An outstanding soccer player as a defender in the 1980s and early 1990s, she was a three-time All-America at the University of Massachusetts (class of 1988) and led the team to four consecutive Final Four appearances. Named All-New England from 1985-1987, Debbie helped the Minutewomen achieve a No. 1 ranking during the 1986 season and led them to the NCAA championship game in 1987, where they lost to North Carolina, 1-0. Named the Defensive MVP of the 1987 Final Four, she also received honors from Soccer America, who named her to its MVP teams in 1986 and 1987, and to the All-Decade team (1980s). Over her four-year career at UMass, the Minutewomen had an overall record of 65-9-4. In 1986, during her junior season at Massachusetts, she joined the U.S. National Team. For the next six years, she was a mainstay on the squad, and was a key member of the 1991 U.S. gold medal team in the inaugural FIFA Women's World Championships. During her international career, Debbie registered 50 caps (appearances) and scored two goals. In August 2001, the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame awarded the 1991 U.S. Women's World Cup champions (with Debbie as a member), the prestigious National Soccer Medal of Honor. http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/26/womens-soccer-pioneer-to-be-honored-by-jewish-hall-of-fame/
Re: List If you're updating...I think he deserves to be added... http://web.archive.org/web/20040217...istory/kuper/the-warm-back-of-eddy-hamel.html
my nephew was doing a study about Azorean culture Azores Island belonging to Portugal and to my utter astonishment the azores had a massive jewish population the first synagogue in usa was built by Azorean Sephardic Jews and the capital of azores Ponta Delgada pop 55,000 had 5 synagogues at one time didnt know that here is a link the only famous player to come out of azores was pauleta but hypothelcally speaking if he did a dna test that concluded Jewish bloodline would he be eligable for Isreal just hypotheically speaking http://www.isjm.org/Links/azores.htm
ne mainland portuguese i am intrigued http://www.mail-archive.com/azores@googlegroups.com/msg04730.html https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/azores/ws0Dvqup6rQ http://www.dartmouth.edu/~frommer/theazores_speech.htm
and unlike mainland portugal the azores celebrate the holy spirit just as jews do im sorry if im going on i just want opinons http://www.saudades.org/delmer.html
I have one who is certainly Jewish but I have no proof. I give you his name because you will maybe find more information than me. Evgeni LEVIN from Kazakhstan U21. He plays for a local club named Kairat Almaty (club of Mark GURMAN)
David Trezeguet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Trezeguet Erik Israelsson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Israelsson
neighter of them are jewish....but this guy is... Arkadi Halperin a 20 yrs old midfielder from Russia http://www.one.co.il/Article/207993.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkadi_Halperin
Strange, biography of Trezeguet says that he is. Footnote number 3. http://www.haaretz.co.il/misc/1.1203110 They mention here about Trezeguet and Davids in the same sentence, also about the wife of Cruyff, Jeff Agoos, Sorin, Samuel, etc. There is one basketballer Yotam Halperin. Surname Israelsson seems Jewish "Son of Israel", it's not usual Swedish surname.
