Jonah Ayunga delivered a standout performance on Saturday, sending a strong message to Harambee Stars head coach Benni McCarthy as his impressive display helped St. Mirren cruise to a 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership.

5 Great Footballers Who Never Played for a Big Club
Many great players have made name for themselves away from the spotlight of elite clubs, with the likes of football legend Pele among them.

Over the years, many notable players have been eligible to play for Kenya's Harambee Stars and other nations as well, with some opting for the latter.
