Gor Mahia will miss the services of first choice goalkeeper Fredrick Onyango who is away on compassionate leave, when they take on Muhoroni Youth in the FKF cup quarter finals. The match is scheduled for Sunday, 07-Oct-2012 at Nairobi City Staduim, and will kick-off at 3.00pm.

In 2001, Raj Binder Singh became the first Kenyan of Asian origin to become chairman of a major football team when he became chairman of Gor Mahia. He became the third club chairman in two years.

In the K’ogalo backyard lies memories that the Gor Mahia legend would quickly wish to forget and move on with his new found team. Having met the team thrice and only won one of the encounters, the recent three nil drubbing and the resultant 4-0 aggregate advancement to the finals by the 2012 KPL Top 8 champions at the cost of…
