Itzik Zohar

Itzik Zohar is a former Israeli professional footballer known for his time as a forward, particularly with Beitar Jerusalem and the Israeli national team. He made a significant move to Crystal Palace in 1997 for a then-record transfer fee, but his tenure in England was challenging and brief, as he struggled to adapt to the Premier League and returned to Israel after only a few months. Despite his short stint, Zohar remains a notable figure in Israeli football history, marked by both his talent on the field and a memorable missed penalty that has become part of Crystal Palace lore.
