I forgot MiB still ran his show anyway..how different is that from this??
Gor and Luo Union are two separate and independent entities. Luo Union rebranded itself to Reunion, at the time Gor became Gulf Olympic Rangers and Abaluhya became AFC. Gor went back to it's original name, AFC retained it new name and as best as I know Reunion died.
8.4.4 cannot know that ........ Gor = Luo to them
^^^^^^ The dinosaurs don't even know their club history. Please be educated ^^^^^^^
Gor Mahia Football club was formed on February 17 1968 following the amalgamation of Luo Union FC and Luo Stars football clubs. However the history of the club goes back to the 1950s with the formation of Luo Union FC. The original Luo Union FC was formed in the 1950s and was the brainchild of freedom fighter Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Luo Union FC finished second in the first ever Kenyan national league held in 1963 and then won the league in 1964 with players like the legendary keeper James Sianga, Stephen Yongo, Fred Siranga, and Daniel Nicodemus "Arudhi". In 1965 they finished second to Feisal of Mombasa on goal difference.
In 1966 and 67, there was a major split in Luo Union Football Club. Some players split and formed Luo Sports club. Others stayed with Luo Union. But when Luo Union were were omitted from the 1966 league at the expense of Luo Sports club, some players opted to join Kisumu Hotstars.
