Abbas: Only Origi can be counted among best Kenyan keepers

The retired former Kenyan number one believes the country is yet to get a good player in the position in recent times

Former Kenyan international Mahmoud Abbas has sensationally claimed Arnold Origi is the only goalkeeper to have made his mark in the position for the country.

Abbas, who featured for the Harambee Stars and helped them to win Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in the 1970s, says despite Kenya giving opportunities to a host of players, only Origi can stand the test of time.

Kenya have had a number of keepers since Abbas hung up his gloves, among them Francis Onyiso, Duncan Ochieng, Origi, and currently Farouk Shikalo and Patrick Matasi.
