Plans are underway for his family and friends to accord the deceased, who remains the only Kenyan footballer to lift a continental title with Gor Mahia in 1987, a befitting send-off at his home in Makunga, Kakamega County, on November 9, 2024.
The committee spearheading this task is led by Owalo, former Harambee Stars coach Jacob Mulee, plus sports journalists Elias Makori, Mike Okinyi, Elynah Shiveka, and James Waindi.
Ex-Harambee Stars goalkeeper Arnold Origi has described his fallen dad, Austin ‘Makamu’ Oduor, as a gentleman, who contributed significantly to the success of his chequered career.
Oduor, who captained Gor Mahia and the Kenya football team during his days as a central defender, passed away suddenly on October 15, 2024, after developing breathing difficulties.
