I was flicking through a recently rediscovered book of Harry Gilzean Hibs cartoons from the Evening News and noticed a strip from the late 70s which referenced a trip to play a Tel Aviv XI during a spell when a lot of games here were off due to the winter weather.
Anyone remember much about this? Hard to imagine many fans made the trip.

As far as I know Marciano is the only Israeli to have played for us but I could be wrong.

Don't seem to recall him being on trial just a target?

Think we were looking at a few strkers when Rosenthal was on trial. David Platt at Crewe was another in the frame at the time. We signed Gareth Evans instead. And that's not meant as a slight on Gareth as he was a great servant for us.

Rosenthal was at ER for a few days, but both sides realised pretty quickly that a deal was unlikely.Last edited by Peevemor; 28-05-2017 at 09:28 PM.

To answer the OP, here's a wee extract from my second book
"With the domestic card wiped out by heavy snow and severe frosts during the latter part of December and for most of January, Hibs looked further afield than the UK to fix up a game that would offer much needed match practice. A four day trip to Israel was organised and the players jetted out for a spell in the sun and a game against a Tel Aviv Xl. Left at home was Des Bremner whose wife Pat was heavily pregnant and due at any time but Lambie made the trip and was handed his debut in the Israeli capital. Indeed the only goal of the game arrived when a Lambie shot came back off the post and Isak Refvik popped up to net from close range."

I thought we signed Keith Houchen (unsure of spelling) for more than the other possibilities... David P and Ronnie R.....
