Media hype aside, the presidential send-off of Denis Onyango is a story worth retelling. Some questioned its pretentious nature, saying Onyango was neither the only Cranes player to enjoy a stellar career nor the only one retiring. But like I have done countless times already, I am here to make the man’s case.
Denis Onyango is not only his generation’s most talented player, but he is also its most accomplished. And that is the thing about the man. He is literally larger than life. This could have well been a state dinner for all retirees but that would not have felt right.
