Must sat Jeff Cohen sounds familiar as we all trained together. What really impressed me beyond belief, was the attitude of guys such as Kieth forrest, wilf de bruin, dickie benjamin, mousie byrne as well as the hunter fellow. They were all positive and really nade the stay a warm and welcome one. They were tough when tough was required. The coach then was Ian towers
played from 1967-68 and 1972-74.
Was mostly in 2nd team but did play occasionally in first team.
Played in 4th league Cup Final at Green Point Stadium Oct. 1974, beating Scotland 3-2, and was in 2 I.F.A. tournamounts.
I don't remember Jeff Cohen. I suspect ! he played years later. I still have a number of the club's newsletters and a J Cohen is mentioned in a team selection in July 1981.
it is indeed that Jeff Cohen, Hilton
