Only Michael Olunga looks promising to break Oliech record but he still has 22 more goals to score to match Deno&#8217;s record. Dennis Oliech is Kenya&#8217;s all-time top scorer with 34 goals in 66 matches, that&#8217;s a VERY impressive record given that famous player like Theo Walcott has only scored 8 goals for England in 47 appearances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/deniiss.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14024 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/deniiss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/deniiss.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/deniiss-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. Oliech&#8217;s ultimate sacrifice during Kenya Vs Zimbabwe game in 2008<\/p>\n<p>Early 2008, Harambee Star&#8217;s goalkeeper Arnold Origi sustained a career threatening injury that saw him being driven off in an ambulance to hospital in the middle of the match against Zimbabwe after colliding with a striker midair. With all the three substitutes having been exhausted, Dennis Oliech took over Origi\u2019s gloves and manned the post successfully maintaining a clean sheet for the remainder of the match. Remember Oliech was the one who scored the two goals, Kenya won 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. Oliech pays air tickets for Harambee stars players<\/p>\n<p>There was drama in 2009 when Harambee Stars was set to travel to Tunisia for the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Kenya Football Federation (KFF) failed to provide tickets for players because they were &#8216;broke&#8217;. Oliech offered to pay the return air tickets and accommodation for the 32 member team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/dennis-olicc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14025 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/dennis-olicc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"717\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/dennis-olicc.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/dennis-olicc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/dennis-olicc-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/dennis-olicc-690x460.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4.Oliech scored the winning goal that sent Kenya to 2004 Africa Cup of Nations<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Oliech scored the winning goal against Cape Verde that saw Harambee Stars book a place in the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations showpiece. It was the first time since 1990 that Kenya had made it to the Africa&#8217;s premier tournament. Remember Kenya is yet to qualify for another continental showpiece.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5. Oliech turned down Qatar&#8217;s offer to switch nationality<\/p>\n<p>Dennis Oliech was only 19 years old when official from Qatar approached him with an offer of $2.6 million or Kes 200 million (with 2004 exchange rate) to change citizenship. It all started when three Qatari talent scouts landed in Kenya and tried to persuade him to change his allegiance from Kenya to Qatar for the mouth-watering fee.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Qataris in the group was behind the move that saw a Kenyan athlete Abraham Cherono (now Saif Shaheen) change nationality to Qatar. Of course Oliech turned down the offer, remember how many Kenyan athletes have changed nationality for the lure of money?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/Denis-Oliech-the-menace.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14028 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/Denis-Oliech-the-menace.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/Denis-Oliech-the-menace.jpg 634w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2017\/10\/Denis-Oliech-the-menace-300x290.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even Harambee Stars goalkeeper Arnold Origi officially acquired Norwegian citizenship in August 2017.

A person who applies for Norwegian citizenship must therefore renounce his\/her former citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It should also be remembered that Dennis Oliech took his cancer struck mother to France for treatment using some 123 million shillings.
