Dennis Oliech is one of the greatest strikers in Kenyan history. During a period when Kenyan football plummeted, it was Oliech's leadership and goal-scoring touch that revived it. He led by an example of scoring goals for Harambee Stars and inspiring youngsters to perform at a higher level for the team.

The striker enjoyed success in Europe representing Nantes, Auxerre, Ajaccio in the French Ligue 1. He came out of retirement early this year to represent his boyhood club Gor Mahia a move he termed as a dream come true to represent the biggest club in the country. He relieved that it was her mum's dream to feature for Kogalo.

In his 72 appearances for the national team, he scored 34 goals making him nation record scorer before he hung his boots in 2016. At the time of his retirement, Harambee Stars made strides in their football development and were in a position to compete against the big teams in Africa.
