Ronny Rosenthal (Hebrew: רוני רוזנטל; born 11 October 1963), nicknamed "Rocket Ronny",[2] is an Israeli former footballer who played as a forward.[citation needed]

After starting his career in his birth city with Maccabi Haifa, Rosenthal went on to play in Belgium with Club Brugge and Standard Liège. He moved to Liverpool in 1990 for a fee of £1.1 million, becoming the first non-UK player to move to an English club for more than £1 million. After four years at Liverpool, Rosenthal finished his career with Tottenham Hotspur and Watford.

Between 1983 and 1997 he made 60 appearances for the Israel national team, scoring 11 goals.
