Chérif Touré Mamam

Cherif-Touré Mamam (born 13 January 1978) is a former Togolese footballer. He was capped 47 times for Togo, scoring seven goals and playing for them at three Africa Cup of Nations and the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

When Touré was on trial at Norwegian club SK Brann in 2005, he claimed that he was born in 1985. He also claimed he had never played in Europe, even though he had previously played in Scotland for Livingston, where he was registered as born in 1981. One of Brann's players, Charlie Miller, who had previously played in Scotland for Dundee United, asked him if he was the same player as the one who used to play for Livingston, which Toure denied.

Touré's brother, Souleymane Mamam, is also a former footballer who played for Togo. Although Mamam is his family name, Cherif Touré had his Christian names on the back of his shirt.
