#Kogalofiles
A group photo of the Gor Mahia squad in 1984, at their high-altitude residential training camp in Nyahururu.
This was a few days before theie opening match of the East and Central Africa Club championship against Uganda's KCC FC in Nairobi.
The following day, midfield enforcer and the engine of the team, Charles Otieno "Kabanze" (standing in the middle), "disappeared" from the camp, and signed for Kenya Breweries.
This jolted the entire team as the team's game plan was centred around him.
Coach, Len Julians had hoped to unleash a dream midfield diamond that included him alongside new signings, Abbas Khamis Magongo and George Onyango "Fundi".
That was not to be.
Without the "Engine", Kogalo lost in the final, to arch-rivals AFC Leopards.
