Yohanan Sukenik ( Hebrew: יוחנן סוקניק) was a Jewish footballer, who played for Hapoel Tel Aviv and Mandatory Palestine national football team. [1]
Biography
Sukenik was born in Łódź, then part of the Russian Empire and immigrated to Mandatory Palestine with his family in 1923. [2] A keen footballer, he joined Maccabi Tel Aviv's youth team, Nordia. In 1927 he moved to Hapoel Tel Aviv, with whom he played until retiring in 1940. [2] With the Hapoel Tel Aviv, Sukenik won 4 championships and 5 cups.
Sukenik was also part of the Mandatory Palestine national football team, playing four matches for the team, two against Egypt in 1934, scoring the consolation goal for Mandatory Palestine in a 1–4 defeat, [3] [4] and two against Greece in 1938, including appearing as a substitute the first match between the teams. [5]
Sukenik retired in 1940, as he felt that playing football was damaging his feet and settled in Ramat Gan, where he worked as a builder. He tried his hand in coaching Hapoel Ramat Gan, but quit the position as he considered his players weren't making the effort to train properly and quit football altogether. [2]
