Biography
Attempted move to Beitar Jerusalem
After the 1978-79 season, Ehud Ben Tuvim requested a raise from his boyhood club, Bnei Yehuda. After being denied the raise, he vented his frustrations with the Israeli media to which the club's chairmen replied that if he wanted to leave, he should pay I£700,000. After almost signing with Hapoel Beersheba, Beitar Jerusalem stepped in and completed a deal with Bnei Yehuda within two days. When the transaction was complete, Bnei Yehuda fans protested in the streets of Tel Aviv, burning tires and stopping all public transportation. Riot police dispersed the crowd who renewed the protests the following day. Eventually, Ben Tuvim returned to Bnei Yehuda and Beitar received their money back.[3]
