Austin Oduor popularly known as 'Makamu' is regarded as the best captain that Harambee Stars has ever had. The no-nonsense defender is fondly remembered for the prominent role he played in the 4th All -African games in 1987 where Harambee Stars reached the finals which they narrowly lost to Egypt.

Under his leadership, Harambee Stars qualified for a record three consecutive CAF African Cup of Nations in 1988, 1990 and 1992. It was also a period that the Kenyan National team was close to securing their first World Cup qualification berth losing by just a whisker against Egypt in their final group match.

Oduor enjoyed success at Gor Mahia where he captained the team that won the club African Cup title in 1987 and numerous League titles as well. He was disciplined and was a very strong defender that brought success to both Gor Mahia and the national team.
