When Israeli Teams Were Frequent Opponents

Back in the 1950s, playing foreign teams was still a novelty and of course Arsenal were at the forefront.

Hapoel Tel Aviv first visited Highbury in the 1951/52 season for example and later came games against South Africa, Anderlecht, Portuguesa De Desportos and Racing Club de Paris in the 1953/54 season.

1954/55 v Grasshoppers, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Spartak, Rangers
1955/56 v Clyde
1956/57 v Red Star CCA Bucharest
1957/58 v Hapoel Tel Aviv, Eintracht Frankfurt (?)
1958/59 v Rangers (postponed), Juventus, Rangers
 1959/60 v Grasshoppers

Oh happy days!
