Western giants: Makokha and Mukonyi redefined high school and national football

Football is many things. My mathematics teacher once told us that football is vectors. There are two Physics teachers who revolutionised football in Kenya. They both hailed from Kakamega County.

Apart from their zeal for teaching sciences, the two had a passion for football. Chris Makokha taught Physics and Mathematics at Kakamega High School while Johnstone Mukonyi taught Physics and Electrical Technology at Musingu High School. The two schools were football powerhouses from the late 70s. When they met, the whole of the former Western Province came to a standstill.
