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.
