Basil Jones,

I'll give you more information on Cherno Samba one of these days. Presently,
I am a bit busy writing a paper/speech I am going to give later this
afternoon to a seminar on "How To Eradicate Worldwide Poverty". In fact,
I'll post the paper to the L by Tommorow, God willing.

Meanwhile, I can confirm that Cherno Samba has got Gambian parents. His
father is a former Wallidan Goalkeeper, Ali Samba, a younger brother to the
late Saul Samba, who had played for the Gambia's National Soccer Team.

By the way, the some of the newspapers here have kept on saying that Cherno
Samba was born here, but some Gambians who know Ali Samba well say Cherno
was actually born in the Gambia, but came here when he was very, very
young/little. Anyway, just for the record, I'll do further checks on his
true country of birth.

But the important thing is that Cherno has already played and scored for
that matter, for the England Under 15 National Soccer Team.
