Many summaries have been made about the wonderful Israeli League of 1996-97, both official and unofficial. One of the ways to sum up the season, though undoubtedly not complete and perfect, is to look upon the bare facts - who was the best, who played well both home and away, who scored most, etc. I tried to make these summaries as short and interesting as possible, to touch every relevant and interesting point that can explain the relegation or the great success. So, don't judge me too severely, would you??
NOTE: The Israeli surnames Cohen and Levi are quite well distributed, as you may know, and the same is true about the names Israel and Eli. Sometimes the certain persons even bear the same name and surname, even in the same profession. So, Eli Cohen (the coach of the fresh Champions Beitar Jerusalem) has nothing to do with Eli Cohen (the temporary coach of Hapoel Tsafririm Holon), and Israel Cohen (defender of Hapoel Haifa) is not the same person as Israel Cohen (defender of Maccabee Herzliya).
