Cherno Samba (born January 10, 1985 in Banjul ) is a former English football player who played in the position of a striker . Because of his Gambian origins, he is also a citizen of the African country and was part of the Gambian national football team .

Even his father was a goalkeeper for the Gambian national soccer team. Later, when Cherno was seven years old, his family moved to Watford , England , and then to Peckham (south London). As a 13-year-old teenager, he attracted attention and scored 132 goals in 32 games.

In 2002, Millwall FC signed him. However, he was not used in the first team. In 2004 he signed the Cádiz FC , where he played in the reserve team in the Tercera División . In the 2005/06 season he was loaned to FC Málaga , in whose reserve team he came only to four missions in the Segunda División . In the summer of 2006, Samba returned to England and joined Plymouth Argyle . There he came in the championship in the 2006/07 season on thirteen appearances - mostly as a substitute. In January 2007 he was loaned to AFC Wrexham for a month . At the beginning of 2008 his contract was terminated. He was without a club for six months before the Finnish first division club FC Haka signed him . He stayed until the end of the 2008 season. He was then without a club for a year before joining the Greek second division team Panetolikos in early 2010 . However, it was not used. From mid-2010 to early 2012 he was again without engagement until the Norwegian third division club FK Tønsberg took him on. After the end of the 2012 season, he again couldn't find a job before ending his career.

For the Gambian national soccer team he was in action for the first time during the qualification for the soccer world championship 2010. Before that, he played for all English junior teams in the ages U-15 to U-20.

The Gambia-based " Cherno Samba Academy of Football ", from which the successful Samger FC emerged , is named after him.
