Moved to tears.
Charon Sherry, one of the biggest foreigners who came to Israel and one of the best players in the history of Maccabi Haifa, said tonight (Sunday) at least temporarily goodbye to the Sami Ofer Stadium, which has been his home for the past four and a half years in the champion's home game against Maccabi Netanya, this after he asked to return to his homeland Following his son's illness, he was loaned to Nijmegen.
Even before the start of the game, in the warm-up on the grass, the green crowd sang to Cheri.
His other friends stopped the warm-up, approached him and the player cried with excitement.
In addition, before the opening whistle, Maccabi Haifa held an emotional ceremony in honor of its captain, when President Yaakov Shahar gave him an emotional gift while the crowd waved a huge sign for him in the north stand with a sentence from his player's song.
"There is one with Holland's left leg, who drove everyone crazy."
It should be noted that Sherry's last game, at least for now, in the Maccabi Haifa uniform will be on Wednesday, when he and his teammates will meet Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Toto Cup final for another big battle between the two biggest teams in Israel.
