Ramarena Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Cherno Samba: Championship Manager legend retiresCherno Samba; an unknown name to many but a legend to tens of thousands of people across the world who never seen him play.On Monday, the former England Under-20 international announced his retirement from professional football after failing to recover from injury."I hope people remember me in terms of my playing career," the 29-year-old told BBC World Service Sport.Unfortunately for Samba, they won't. He came to fame after being popularised in the Championship Manager computer game, namely the 2001-02 edition. His potential stats made him a world beater in the game.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/3365780 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 In that fantastic Ssausagehorpe United team that won the Champions League three times running, his prowess in front of goal and his willingness to link up with that magnificent playmaker Tonton Zola Moukoko was a recipe for success.Have a happy retirement, Cherno.
