What you need to know:
- Austin Oduor passed away on October 16, just two days after attending a public event in Rarieda, Siaya County, where he gave a motivational talk to players from Dero and Siger FC.
- The event was also attended by Owalo and several former Kenyan internationals. Oduor captained Gor Mahia to victory in the 1987 Mandela Cup and served as Harambee Stars captain between 1988 and 1990.
Preparations are in high gear for the burial of Harambee Stars and Gor Mahia legend Austin ‘Makamu’ Oduor next month.
Oduor, 65, who made history as the only Gor Mahia captain to lift the prestigious Mandela Cup (now the CAF Confederation Cup), will be laid to rest at his Makunga home in Navakholo Constituency, Kakamega County, on November 9.
