He spent time on loan with Malaga B before returning to England to play for Plymouth Argyle.

This is undoubtedly a unique story of the rollercoaster life of a talented footballer who was on the edge of becoming a mega-star with Liverpool at the age of 15, and touted at being the player who would ‘win the 2006 World Cup for England. However, you’ll have to read the book to find out what happened in his life — and you won’t be disappointed. Cherno’s ‘still in the game’ and he is now coaching youngsters at a Premier League club. The book has a strong message for youngsters, that by working hard, hopes and dreams can come true — but sometimes not in the way you imagine them.
