Gor Mahia star midfielder Allan Thigo juggles the ball after a training session at City Stadium in Nairobi in 1979. But by the time they reached the stadium, Gor Mahia were leading 4-3 with just stoppage time remaining. Gor Mahia fans celebrated as if they had defeated AFC Leopards or in fact won the league itself. It is to the loss of Kenya football that Maragoli, like the Luo Union club I featured here last week, also died after decades of being a mainstay of Kenya football. Like Kanduyi for Gor Mahia, Kisumu was Leopards’ kichinjio.
