Ogalle, who will be turning 82 this month, described the football legend as gifted, a wizard, a magic player you could not believe, noting that Pele will forever remain the greatest player of all time.
"Pele was the key of success and is somebody to be emulated worldwide. We are very proud he chose to visit Kenya. We still stand by that spirit of football; we have a future in Kenyan football, develop the game and produce new Peles," said Ogalle.
Ogalle said Kenya is lucky to get a youthful Sports Cabinet Secretary in Ababu Namwamba, urging him to come up with a bill to fund football separately from other disciplines including athletics noting that football is a fame.
He challenged Namwamba to look for people with experience to form an Advisory Council to reach out to the youths, develop talent and advise them like they used to do in the 70s.
"Kenya can still qualify for the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations if we invest in the youths. Let's go back to the basics and organise camps for youths from secondary schools and colleges during holidays," he advised.
While Ogalle feels discipline is key in tapping talents, he said greatest players like the late Joe Kadenge, Jonathan Niva, Jerry Imbo and many others fought hard for the country without thinking of money.
"Unlike today, most of the players in the yester years sacrificed their lives and played wholeheartedly for this country without thinking about money," said Ogalle.
