[edit] Early life
The son of Eliezer Spiegel, who was a prominent footballer during the British mandate. Giora attended Herzliya Hebrew High School.
[edit] Playing career

By 1973, he had a spat with Maccabi manager, Jerry Beit haLevi over transfering to a club in France. He later left Maccabi for France and didn't come back until 1979 when he rejoined Maccabi and helped them win the league.
