PROFILE
Popular Israeli international Ronnie Rosenthal became the first Liverpool player to
score a hat-trick on his full debut at Charlton Athletic on April 11th, 1990 since Bobby
Graham in 1964.
Rosenthal initially joined Liverpool on loan from Belgian side Standard Liege, and
made an explosive impact with a magnificent hat-trick on his first start in a 4-0 win at
Charlton Athletic. He had made a storming start in the reserves, scoring on his first
appearance against Manchester United, followed by two more in his next game against
Huddersfield and scoring one and creating two others in a 4-1 Liverpool Senior Cup
quarter-final tie against Tranmere Rovers.
He made his Liverpool debut on March 31st 1990 as a second half substitute for
Steve McMahon in the Anfield 3-2 victory over Southampton. The Reds were 2-1 down but he
made an instant impact and helped Liverpool to come back and clinch a crucial victory.
Rosenthals hat-trick at Charlton was the perfect pick-up for a Reds side which
had lost out 4-3 to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final. He went on to score seven
goals to help Liverpool win the Championship their last title in 1990, and became an
instant hero with the KOP.
As manager Kenny Dalglish said: Ronnie gave us momentum. He had five starts,
three appearances as sub and seven goals. That was a very good return which helped us to
win the championship.
The following season saw Dalglish make the transfer permanent as Liverpool paid
?1.1 million to Standard Liege. Rosenthal was used mostly as a substitute and he had to
wait until December 22nd, 1990 for his first start. But what a start it was as a
replacement for the injured Peter Beardsley, when Rosenthal scored two fine goals in a 3-2
Anfield victory over Southampton.
He started the New Year brightly too, scoring and creating the other two goals in a
3-0 win over Leeds United at Anfield but with Dalglish resigning he ended the season
mostly on the sidelines. However, he did finish the 1990-91 season as top scorer for
Liverpool reserves with 18 goals in 25 appearances.
Under Graeme Souness, Rosenthal was likened by the manager as a super sub in
the David Fairclough mould. Highlight of the 1991-92 season was coming off the bench to
inspire the Reds to a 3-2 Anfield extra-time victory over Ipswich Town in the FA Cup 5th
Round. He set up the winning goal for Steve McManaman as the Reds went on to win the FA
Cup with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland. Rosenthal was included in the squad but not in the
final 13.
The following season Rosenthal was again in and out of the side and missed a
glorious chance in a 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa when he hit the bar when facing an open
goal. He later scored in the game but the talking point was that miss.
However, there were some good highlights, notably the last minute Anfield derby
winner against Everton in front of the KOP on March 20th, 1993. Other moments included a
magnificent winning goal in the 1-0 win at Queens Park Rangers and two explosive goals in
a 4-1 Anfield win over Middlesbrough.
Rosenthal also helped one Liverpool legend create a piece of history that season.
One weaving run saw him set up Ian Rush to score his 287th Liverpool goal in a 2-2 draw at
Old Trafford against Manchester United on October 18th. With that goal Rush overtook Roger
Hunt as Liverpools record goalscorer.
The 1993-94 season was Rosenthals last at Anfield and after just three
substitute appearances his last as a substitute in a Goodison Park derby 2-0 defeat on
September 18th, 1993, the fans favourite was sold to Tottenham Hotspur.
A player who always played with commitment and gave 100 per cent, Rosenthal will
always be fondly remembered by Liverpool fans, whether it be the last minute derby winner
or the goals that helped Liverpool claim their last championship in 1990. Who could forget
the chant from the KOP. Altogether now. Ronnie, Ronnie Ronnie, A Ronnie Rosenthal heh!
Rosenthal scored on his Spurs debut with a stunning 20-yard header against
Sheffield Wednesday, and helped Tottenham avoid relegation. The following season with
Spurs 2-0 down in an FA Cup tie at Southampton, Rosenthal came off the bench to score a
sensational hat-trick in an FA Cup win at Southampton against his old mate Bruce
Grobbelaar.
He came back to Anfield with Tottenham and received a great reception from the KOP
before starting and helping his new club to a 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final victory.
Rosenthal then moved to Watford and helped Graham Taylors men achieve promotion
from Division Two to the Premiership. He is now retired and has become a football agent.
