After starting his career in his birth city with [[Maccabi Haifa F.C.|Maccabi Haifa]], Rosenthal went on to play in Belgium with [[Club Brugge]] and [[Standard Liège]]. He moved to [[Liverpool F.C.|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 F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] and [[Watford F.C.|Watford]].

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

On 11 May 2019, Rosenthal and his family were subjected to a "terrifying ordeal", when masked machetes-holding robbers, raided his home in [[Cricklewood]], England.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/former-tottenham-striker-attacked-masked-18799890|title=Ex-Tottenham and Liverpool star attacked by machete gang in raid at home|first=Matt|last=Maltby|date=30 July 2019|website=mirror}}</ref>

==Club career==
He was left-footed, and began his playing career with [[Maccabi Haifa F.C.|Maccabi Haifa]] in the city in which he was born in his native [[Israel]], winning two Israeli league titles.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IxkuAQAAIAAJ&q=Ronny+Rosenthal|title=Newsview|date=10 September 1984|publisher=L.J.

During the [[1990–91 Liverpool F.C. season|1990–91]] season, Rosenthal faced continued fierce competition for a place in the first team from Liverpool's established strikers [[Ian Rush]] and [[Peter Beardsley]], and then from mid-season signing [[David Speedie]]. He played 16 times in the league, and scored five goals as Liverpool finished second in the league. In [[1991–92 Liverpool F.C. season|1991–92]], Rosenthal played 20 times in the league, but it was a frustrating league campaign for both player and club, as the Reds finished sixth in the league and Rosenthal only found the net three times. Liverpool did win the [[FA Cup]] that season, but Rosenthal was not selected for the final. Despite the pre-season departure of both Speedie and Beardsley, Rosenthal was now faced with competition for a place from new signing [[Dean Saunders]]. [[1992–93 Liverpool F.C. season|1992–93]] was slightly better, as Rosenthal played 27 games in the new [[Premier League]], and scored six goals, but it was another frustrating season for Liverpool, who finished sixth in the league once again and spent most of the season occupying even lower positions. Saunders had been sold to [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] early in the season, while new signing [[Paul Stewart (footballer, born 1964)|Paul Stewart]] proved to be a major disappointment.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/|title=Ronny ROSENTHAL - League appearances. - Liverpool FC|website=Sporting Heroes}}</ref> A memorable occasion during that first Premier League season came when Rosenthal hit the crossbar with a shot on an open goal in a league match against Aston Villa.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/Profile/400|title=Liverpool career stats for Ronny Rosenthal - LFChistory - Stats galore for Liverpool FC!|website=www.lfchistory.net}}</ref>

With the arrival of [[Nigel Clough]] in the summer of 1993, and the breakthrough of [[Robbie Fowler]] soon after, Rosenthal played just three league games for Liverpool in [[1993–94 in English football|1993–94]] and was sold to [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] in January 1994.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Rosenthal scored on his debut in February 1994, in a home defeat to [[Sheffield Wednesday]]. He became a regular member of the first team at [[White Hart Lane]], playing 15 league games and scoring twice before the season's end. Despite [[Teddy Sheringham]] overcoming injury problems, and the close season signing of [[Jürgen Klinsmann]], Rosenthal still managed to appear in 20 Premier League games in [[1994–95 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season|1994–95]], though he failed to score. His best form came in the [[FA Cup]], in which he scored five goals in Tottenham's run to the semi-final. This included a hat-trick in a 6–2 fifth round replay win at [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]]. Klinsmann was then sold to [[Bayern Munich]] and Spurs signed [[Chris Armstrong (footballer, born 1971)|Chris Armstrong]], but Rosenthal still played in all but five of Tottenham's 38 Premier League games in [[1995–96 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season|1995–96]], mostly as a substitute, but only scored one goal.{{citation needed|date=February 2023}}

[[1996–97 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season|1996–97]] brought a similar story for player and club. For the third consecutive season, Spurs fell short of a [[UEFA Cup]] place, while Rosenthal was on the scoresheet only once in the league, and this time was restricted to 20 league appearances. In more than three years in [[North London]], Rosenthal had appeared in 88 league games (55 of them starts) but scored just four goals.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M77ABQAAQBAJ&q=Ronny+Rosenthal&pg=PT17|title=Another 101 Interesting Facts About Spurs: Learn About the Boys From The Lane|first=Chris|last=Cowlin|date=23 October 2014|publisher=Andrews UK Limited|isbn=9781910295564|via=Google Books}}</ref> He then dropped down two divisions to sign for [[Watford F.C.|Watford]], and played 30 games over the next seasons and scored eight goals as Watford won back-to-back promotions to reach the [[FA Premier League]]. He then retired from playing at the age of 35.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sporting-heroes.net/|title=Ronny ROSENTHAL - League appearances. - Tottenham Hotspur FC|website=Sporting Heroes}}</ref>

== International career ==
Rosenthal was also a regular member of the [[Israel national football team|Israel national team]] for most of his career. He won his first senior cap in 1983, and by the time his international career drew to a close in 1997, he had been capped 60 times and scored 11 goals.<ref name=autogenerated2 /><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g2q5BAAAQBAJ&q=Ronny+Rosenthal&pg=PT46|title=The Liverpool Quiz Book|first=Chris|last=Cowlin|date=3 February 2012|publisher=Andrews UK Limited|isbn=9781908752123|via=Google Books}}</ref>
