He had a helmet, but not the 'cover your head' helmet, but the 'half helmets' (I have no idea what they're called in English or any language for that matter).

The medic at the site said it may have lessened the severity of his injuries ...

Right now, it doesn't look good at all ....

Did Avi's helmet have a cover on it?

Johan Elmander dedicated his latest Bolton goal to former Liverpool star Avi Cohen - dad of Israeli team-mate Tamir.

Top scorer Elmander rushed to collect a t-shirt with a 'get well soon' message for the stricken Cohen who has been seriously ill since a motorbike crash last week.

Midfielder Tamir has flown to his father's bedside and the Bolton players had also met Cohen senior on a flying visit to see his son recently.

Elmander, who notched his ninth Premier League goal of the season, went straight to the dug-out to send his goodwill thoughts.

Boss Owen Coyle said: "It's sad what has happened to Avi. Tamir is well-liked by the whole group and Avi is in our thoughts and prayers. The players wanted to show Tamir that they were thinking of him.

"It sums up the spirit and togetherness that they have. Avi had been over for a week at the training ground and is a lovely man. We hope he gets better."

Good on them. I'm used to hating Bolton from the Allardyce days, so (as the ad used to say) what a refreshing change.
 
He's not 'officially' dead yet ... They'll decide within minutes if to take him off life support ...

Israeli footy fans are often times the most hateful I've met wrt how they hate opposing teams. Imagine Avvy and the Mancs, no multiply it by 10,000. It's crazy. But browsing the message boards of various fan sites the past week has made me realize how it's just a game. Besides the few idiots, everyone was hoping for a miracle ... everyone only saying good things ...
 
Kenny:

Kenny Dalglish has paid tribute to former teammate Avi Cohen after the ex-Israeli international star was declared brain dead earlier today in Tel Aviv.

The sad news about the former Reds defender was broken by his son Tamir in Israel and followed a serious motorcycle accident last week.

"Avi was a lovely man who will be remembered fondly by everyone at Liverpool who knew him," Dalglish told the official website.

"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. He was well liked by all the lads and although he didn't spend a long time at the club, he certainly left his mark and no one will forget how he helped us win the league against Aston Villa. My thoughts and those of everyone connected to the club are with Avi's family."

A left-back, Avi joined the club in 1979 and made 24 appearances, scoring a famous goal in a title clincher against Aston Villa.

To give him his full title, Abraham "Avi" Cohen was the first foreign player to represent Liverpool since Robert Rudham arrived 24 years earlier.

The Reds received glowing reports about the player and, at Liverpool's invitation, Cohen spent a week training with the club under the watchful eye of manager Bob Paisley.

Due to Ray Kennedy's absence, he was given an early debut at Leeds on September 15, 1979.

Avi played in 14 league matches the following season (1980-81), before he eventually returned to his homeland in November 1981.

He returned to Britain in May 1987 playing for former Liverpool skipper Graeme Souness at Rangers.

Liverpool Football Club would like to offer its condolences to Avi's family at this difficult time.

He's been as good as dead since that accident. Severe brain damage. But yes, as LTW said, he's not officially dead yet, and it's down to the family to chose what next.

Very sad that a man like him in the middle of his life and in good health is in such a terrible hopeless condition.


I will forever remeber the joy and excietment I felt that day when I came home from school and read in the paper that you were signing for my favourite club. The first Israeli player to play in England and for the best club in the world.
I will always remeber that game v. Villa.
Very sad.
