Hapoel Tel Aviv fell in love with Tomer Ginat when he was still anonymous. The legend around him only grew stronger when he returned from France and said no to Maccabi Tel Aviv's big money.
"Tomer went with his heart and is willing to pay the price. That says a lot about him," says Shimon Amsalem, a great symbol in red in his own right, who hoisted the team's last title, the State Cup in 1993.
