#2 John Nyawanga
John Nyawanga was the first Kenyan to captain the national soccer team at the CAF African Cup of Nations in 1972. The high-flying winger was tasked with leading a young Harambee Stars side in their first appearance in the competition.
Things did not go well for the Harambee Stars as they failed to progress past the group stage losing 2-1 to host Cameroon before drawing in their next two matches against Mali and Togo respectively.

Despite failing to progress past the group stage, it was a great achievement for the Harambee Stars as they had a young inexperienced side that was yet to feature in a tournament in the calibre of the African Cup of Nations.
The former Kenya Breweries (now Tusker FC) winger was a real nightmare to defenders and will always be remembered for the prominent role that he played in guiding a young Kenyan side in their first major tournament.
