Yaakov Ajuval was born in Israel on July 3, 1964. He played for Hapoel Yehud, Maccabi Petah Tikva and Avi Luzon.

His mother, he says, used to go to a famous Arab fortune teller in Jaffa. "I'm always in favor of the underdog, I don't like the rich giants," he says. "How do you turn a plastic pot into a flower? More in Walla! How do you do it?"
