Former interational Dennis Oliech, a member of Mathare United’s second generation, recalled Munro’s unwavering belief in youth football.
“His policy has seen many become good leaders in various institutions. He believed in hard work and was good at identifying talent at an early age. Those who worked hard succeeded in their football careers,” said Oliech, who also played for Nantes, Auxerre, Ajaccio in France, Dubai CSC, and record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia.
The football community, including former Mathare United FC players, continues to pay glowing tribute to long-serving football administrator Bob Munro, who died last Sunday at his home in Westlands, Nairobi.
Munro is remembered for his immense contributions to the development of football in Kenya, from grassroots to the professional level.
