[edit]

2003 to present

[edit]

Odur broke onto the scene in 2003 as an exciting youngster at Express FC. Together with the small Mark Mwambo, who has since quit the game, in midfield, they were the new kids on the block that came off the bench at the CECAFA club Championships that year to turn the game round.[2] The two were the talking points at that time and very exciting and at the end of that season, they helped Express win the Kakungulu Cup. But more sticking is the wonderful late equalizer Odur scored in the 2004 Kakungulu Cup final against KCC.[2]

However, Odur is an aggressive player who would want his team to win at all cost. Odur joined Bunamwaya. He also had a professional trials stint in Denmark although he wasn't successful, and Tony had this to say "I need to get a shot at such an opportunity again and that's why I'm working hard."[5]

In April 2014, Tony went to Vietnam to hally work on his dream of playing in others outside League, so he directed to Vietnam-based team, Sai Gon FC for trials April 2014.[6] In 2014 Tony missed out a crucial match in Uganda Cup, semi finals against Sc victoria university at phillip omondi stadium, due to a knee injury but KCCF won the game 2-1[7]
