Dan Murray (Omari Stein)
Ashamed that he was relegated to League B and therefore announced his retirement from active play? Dan Mori (34), who played for many years in the Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv uniform, hung up his shoes last Tuesday when he announced this on his personal Instagram page. ONE came to know that the day before, on December 26, the brakeman became a player for Beitar Ramat Gan, which plays in the B South A League under the guidance of Yaakov Tal.
Yesterday (Thursday), Murray recorded a full 90 minutes in the match against Hapoel Mahane Yehuda, in a 1:2 victory with goals from substitute Itai Guetta (81) and a precise penalty by Avraham Chai (90) that erased Ziv Dahan’s lead (63). Retirement from an active game means ceasing activity in the league under the Football Association and/or the league directorate. As mentioned, Dan Murray may have announced that he retired from active play and hung up his shoes, but the reality shows completely differently.
Coach Jacob Tal confirmed the details in a conversation with ONE, when he said that the player has been training at the club for about two months and is maintaining his fitness with the young guys who are learning a lot from him. And how did he join the team? Thanks to his good friend, Tal Tesat, playing in the team. The coach added that after the team conceded 9 goals last week, a slight shock was needed. He asked Murray to help, and the latter buckled up. Will he continue in the next games? Tal can’t say. Dan Murray He said in response: “I play just for fun”.
