Okello remains a fans’ favourite at Lugogo, having come through the ranks of the club academy before rising to be one of the best players of his generation.
It is understandable if KCCA FC fans are still hurting four days after the conclusion of the Startimes Uganda Premier League.
It must hurt to be so close yet so far from winning the league, and KCCA were on the wrong end of that situation when they lost the title race to rivals Vipers SC on goal difference.
The two sides were tied on 53 points, but Alex Isabirye’s charges won the title with a better goal difference.
And one of KCCA’s mainstays, Allan Okello, has penned a message to everyone at the club appreciating their efforts throughout the season despite coming short in the end.
“I’ve taken the last few days to reflect on the just concluded season. Our dream from the beginning was to win the double this season, and it’s only right to accept that it was a very disappointing season for us,” part of Okello’s statement read.
“While we may not have achieved our ultimate goal, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude.
“A special thank you to our fans for welcoming me back at the club, an experience that I will always cherish and take with me forever. Despite the setbacks we faced, you never gave up, and always pushed us until the very end.”
