Former Liverpool star and Israeli football icon Avi Cohen has died.
Cohen lost his life after a recent motorcycle accident.
The news was announced at a press conference by Cohen's son, Bolton midfielder Tamir Cohen and confirmed by the Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.
Cohen was 54 and played for Liverpool from 1979 to 1981, scoring the goal which secured the 1980 First Division title.
The former Israel international also had a short spell with Rangers, moving to Ibrox in 1987.
Tamir Cohen said: "Dad died of brain death. Thanks to all the people of Israel for their support and assistance."
Former Reds teammate Kenny Dalglish paid tribute: "Avi was a lovely man who will be remembered fondly by everyone at Liverpool who knew him.
"He quickly integrated himself into the football club when he joined us and spent a lot of time learning English which really made him popular."
