Gor Mahia legend Austin "Makamu" Odour (right) receives track suits from Information Communication Technology (ICT) Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo at Methodist Resort Centre in Nairobi on May 12, 2023.
Apart from receiving words of wisdom from the Harambee Stars legends, Dero FC and Siger FC players also received tracksuits from the Eliud Owalo Foundation.
In what is now a poignant memory, Oduor, who is best remembered for leading Gor Mahia as captain to their historic victory in the 1987 Mandela Cup, urged the players not to give up on their dreams due to the many hardships that they are facing.
When Harambee Stars and Gor Mahia legend Austin ‘Makamu’ Oduor spoke at a football event in Asembo, Siaya County on Saturday, no one in the gathering knew that it would be their last moment with him.
The former defender, who died on Tuesday night, was among the retired Harambee Stars and Gor Mahia players, who attended the event that was also graced by Deputy Chief of Staff, Performance and Delivery Management, Eliud Owalo.
