Gor defeated Tunisian giants Esperance on away goal rule in the final after a 2-2 draw in Tunis and 1-1 draw in Nairobi.
He took over as the team captain in 1985 leading K’Ogalo to beat AFC Leopards 2-0 in the Cecafa Club Championships final in Sudan. Gor went on to win the league the same year, making the season a very successful one.
Gor Mahia legendary centre back Austine Oduor has advised the Kenyan champions to watch out for soft “dirty tricks’ in Egypt when they face Al Ahly in the return leg of their CAF Champions League second preliminary round match on Saturday.
Oduor popularly known as “Makamu” was the assured vice captain to Peter Otieno “Bassanga” when they took on feared Zamalek in the second round of the 1984 African Cup of Champions Club (now Champions League) after disposing regional rivals Young Africans on Tanzania 2-1 on aggregate in the first round.
