Very sad news coming out of Israel today as Avi Cohen has been declared dead by his doctors at Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital.
Cohen, 54, was critically injured in a traffic accident on December 20. The former Liverpool player was riding his motorcycle when he was reportedly hit by a car. At the hospital he underwent immediate surgery and has been in the ICU for the last seven days.
In 1979, he joined the Reds for a fee of $450,000, becoming the first Israeli to play for an English team.
He played a total of 18 games for the Reds, scoring 1 goal.
RIP Avi
To his family and friends our condolences.

Brain death is irreversible. You are getting confused with vegetative states that people can recover from. Unfortunately you can not recover from brain death. RIP Avi. Condolences to your friends and family x
