Could deadly Dan Sserunkuma be scoring his way to the list of Gor Mahia greats?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The statistics certainly point to that as the pint-sized Ugandan forward reaps apart defences at will and his goals help Gor Mahia march on towards their first league title in 17 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Serenkuma, who has scored a league leading 17 goals, is not concerned about the accolades he is getting from the technical bench or the terraces. All he wants is to win the Kenyan Premier League title with Gor Mahia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI know people expect so much and that is what we want to deliver. I am an individual player, but we will have to work as a team to deliver the title. That is the most important thing to me. The rest are secondary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI am better off winning the league title with Gor Mahia and failing to win the golden boot or any other award,\u201d he added. Should he get both he will be well on his way to gaining a place in Gor Mahia\u2019s folklore like others before him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
There was, earlier, Maurice Ochieng \u201cSonyi\u201d – the highest ever scorer in the Kenyan Premier League, then, later Peter Ochieng Dawo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Ochieng\u2019 is a living legend in Gor Mahia\u2019s history, having steered the 12-time league winners to the title in 1976 with an unbeaten record, courtesy of his record 26 goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Dawo scored 10 goal to emerge top scorer in the continent in 1987 when Gor Mahia won the Mandela Cup. That same year Gor Mahia won a treble – the league, Moi Golden Cup and the Mandela Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
This year will mark the 25th year since Gor Mahia won the treble. This year is also the one they are closest to bagging three trophies and they may have the star to help them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Crucial goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n That star may be Sserunkuma, whose goals have propelled Gor Mahia from a mid table side in June to in effect, champions in waiting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Last weekend Sserunkuma scored a hat trick<\/a> against Muhoroni as Gor Mahia went within a match of lifting the coveted title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Should he find the back of the net and Gor Mahia win on Saturday against Thika United at the City Stadium, he will rightfully deserve a place in Gor Mahia all time star list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And he also stands a chance of becoming the first golden boot winner from Gor Mahia since Dawo should he beat Sofapaka\u2019s John Baraza\u2019s tally of 17 by the end of the league on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n His exploits have not gone unnoticed at home and he was recently called up to the provisional Uganda Cranes squad for the forthcoming Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Ugandan is also a strong candidate for the KPL Player of the Year award. Sserunkuma is already a darling of Gor Mahia fans, his partnership with Rama Salim a fearful combination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Saids coach Zdravko Logarusic: \u201cThis boy has the potential of being one of the greatest stars in African football. He is mature, yet still very young, strong on the ball, yet very tiny and speedy too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI do not know much about the great players of Gor Mahia, but in Serenkuma, Gor Mahia has a player who will go down in the hall of fame,\u201d added Logarusic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is his goals that seem to be winning the title for K\u2019Ogalo. Will the 22-year old live up to his expectations on Saturday<\/a> and win the title for Gor Mahia?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He says he is at Gor Mahia to win titles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
