Isaac Ochieng Onyango, a former Ulinzi Stars Football Club striker, explains how he was forced to come to terms with the end of his football career after he suffered a severe back injury 9 years ago and decided to become a mentor and a coach to young upcoming footballers in Kiambu County.
Ochieng, who was best known by his nickname Saka, was a famous footballer who played for national soccer teams, his last team being the Ulinzi Stars, where he managed to score 12 goals for his team as a striker.
His love for soccer began when he was in primary school, where he played for his primary and later secondary school teams, managing to take his schools to the national-level competition on several occasions.
After completing his secondary school education, Saka joined the now-named Kisumu National Polytechnic to pursue his other passion, which is Civil Engineering, but his heart remained rooted in playing football.
