As Gor Mahia prepare for their second leg encounter against US Bitam of Gabon, fans will be hoping that the club can overcome the below par performances that have plagued Gor Mahia and indeed all Kenyan teams in this competition. Indeed the African Champions league and its predecessor the Africa Champions cup have not been a happy hunting ground for Kenyan teams.

Gor Mahia fans will be hoping that 2014 exceeds 1992 which is to this date the club’s best ever performance in this tournament.
Good trip down memory lane. Its true that in the 1990s , performance was hindered by poor organization. Its also true that under Len Julians with that squad GM may have conquered Africa.
Let the players and tech bench give their best without fear and undue pressure, with that you will silence those fancy talkers called usb.
