Goldstein stars for England’s futsal side
Redbridge A midfielder gets on scoresheet against Scotland and Northern Ireland in Euro qualifiers warm-up.
Russell Goldstein enjoyed a successful Four Nations tournament for England’s futsal team ahead of next month’s European qualifiers in Bulgaria.
Facing Scotland, Northern Ireland and hosts Wales over three days, Goldstein, who also plays for Redbridge A, scored one and made a goal in their 9-0 win over Scotland, before getting on the scoresheet again and claiming two assists in their 16-1 win over the Irish. However, the tournament ended on a losing note, as the Three Lions lost for the first ever time to Wales, beaten 6-2.
Goldstein said: “The Northern Ireland game was my best of the tournament, and although we were the better team against Wales, they were more clinical and that’s what wins you games.
“This tournament was a great learning curve for myself as it I gained valuable minutes to help me develop at international level and we can now look forward to the Euro qualifiers.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
