On Friday, 29th November 2019, Ulinzi Stars goalkeeper Timothy Odhiambo was crowned the LG Kenyan Premier League Player of the Month for October 2019 at Afraha stadium.
With a mean streak in goal, Odhiambo has seen Ulinzi concede just five league goals this season, earning him the top spot ahead of Lawrence Juma of Gor Mahia and Mathare United's Kevin Kimani.
During a tough October, Odhiambo ensured Ulinzi kept three clean sheets against Western Stima, KCB, and Tusker, with notable performances against Tusker and KCB.
"Sometimes you don't need to make saves to be a good goalkeeper. If you organise your defence well and keep them alert with continuous communication, then most of the job is done. You limit the number of shots getting to you," Odhiambo said about his trade.
He also cautioned competitors in the national team that he is only getting started, with a national team call-up being a real motivator towards his end game.
Ulinzi Stars coach Benjamin Nyangweso lauded SJAK and LG for striving to appreciate best performers during such times, saying it's a real motivator not just to the winning player but to the entire squad.
