{UAH} More than 3 decades later Mahmoud Abbas is still Kenya one keeper of all times
He stood between the posts for the Kenya national team, Harambee stars between 1980 and 1984 and for AFC Leopards between 1979 and 1985. In those years, the Kenya national team won the CECAFA cup 3 times in row
while AFC Leopards also won the CECAFA club cup 3 times. In all these memorable moments, Abbas played pivotal roles in particular with his penalty saving heroics and his commanding presence between the posts. He became a legend all over Africa and in particular East and Central Africa and earned himself the nickname "Kenya one".

Abbas's penalty saving miracles led to several rumours one of which was that he used witchcraft and regularly visited legendary Coastal witchdoctor, Kajiwe. Tanzanians referred to him as "golikipa mchawi", which means goalkeeper who uses sorcery.
Who can Leonard Mambo Mbotela reading the starting eleven screaming "Mahmoud Abbas nambari moja???
