ian1964 10,514 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 FORMER Rangers star Avi Cohen is fighting for his life in hospital after being seriously injured in a motorbike crash. The ex-Israel defender, 54, underwent emergency surgery after a collision with a car outside Tel Aviv in his homeland. His condition was last night described as "serious". Paramedic Ronen Cohen said the star had "a serious head wound". He added: "Speed of arrival at the hospital is often critical so we flew him to the trauma room." The stricken idol's son Haim said: "Doctors are fighting for his life." Another son Tamir, who plays for Bolton, was given compassionate leave by his club to fly to his father's bedside. Cohen was one of ex-Gers boss Graeme Souness's first signings as he started his Ibrox revolution in the 1980s. He also played for Liverpool and is chairman of Israel's Professional Footballers' Association.

calscot 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Makes me feel a bit luckier with mostly just a broken leg and wrist from my bike accident. Ironically his level of consciousness will be measured by the "Glasgow scale". Let's hope it's pretty high. Best wishes to him for making a good recovery with no after effects. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
