Baruch Dego
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baruch Dego (born March 26, 1981) is an Israeli football (soccer) player. He currently plays for Hapoel Tel-Aviv FC.
Dego, who grew up in M.S. Ashdod, was transferred to Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC in 2001/02, and won a championship and three national trophies. In 2004/05, he was the only player to score for Maccabi in the UEFA Champions League group stage. He scored two goals against Ajax Amsterdam in the local win 2-1, one goal from penalty against Juventus (1-1) and another penalty goal at Bayern Munich (5-1 to Bayern).
Maccabi's fans saw Dego as one of the main reasons for Maccabi beloved captain Avi Nimni's dismissal in August 2003, and when Dego's adoptive father, David Tshuva, spoke to the press against Maccabi the fans called Dego to leave to the city rival. After the 2004/05 season, he did that and transferred to Hapoel Tel-Aviv. Besides Dego, John Pantsil also transferred to Hapoel from Maccabi this season.
