Martin Cohen (born 3 February 1952) is a South African former Jewish professional association footballer who played for the Los Angeles Aztecs.
Playing career
Cohen was a starter for Highlands Park during the apartheid era of soccer in South Africa. On 20 April 1974, Cohen was part of the White XI that played their black counterparts in a racially charged match at Rand Stadium. After initially going down 1-0 to the black side (the goal was called off-side by referee Wally Turner), Cohen scored a crucial goal before Neil Roberts put the game away.[1] His son, Larry Cohen is also a footballer.
