Playing career


Cohen was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is Jewish. He was a starter for Highlands Park during the apartheid era of soccer in South Africa. He had trained with this club since the age of 10. On 20 April 1974, Cohen was part of the White XI that played their black counterparts in a racially charged match at Rand Stadium. After initially going down 1-0 to the black side (the goal was called off-side by referee Wally Turner), Cohen scored a crucial goal before Neil Roberts put the game away.
In 1975, Cohen won the South Africa's player of the year.
In December 1976 he signed with the Los Angeles Aztecs. He scored his first two goals in the first leg of the second round of the NASL playoffs against the Dallas Tornado as the Aztecs won 3-1. He played with the California Surf in 1979.
His son, Larry Cohen, is also a footballer.
