The former player who was one of the clubs’ pillars in the early days of the young Israeli state during the 50’s and 60’s left a heritage which set up the foundations for the young generation of Maccabi players.
Wearing the number 8 shirt in his midfield position, Goldstein was the pulsing heartbeat of the Maccabi team between 1949-1962. He won the league title four times (1949/50, 1951/52, 1953/54 and 1957/58) as well as three State Cups (1953/54, 1957/58 , and 1958/59). Goldstein who scored 41 goals in 161 matches played for Maccabi, made 25 international appearances for Israel and after his retirement coached in the club’s youth department.
