Famous Figures and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the team in pre-season this summer through good mate and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited additional former professionals, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in sixty-five Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen said 'come and play, it's enjoyable'," said the striker.

"Then he told me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still love football and you feel you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"The people who turn up and see are pleased and to give a moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his first game at full-back.

"That's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue running.

"The movement is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

Unreal Scenario

Along with the forward's six goals on his first game, Ireland has scored eight in 3 games for the side, while George Boyd scored five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced former Latics full-back Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as playing in more than two hundred Premier League games.

"The news was spreading like wildfire they had these former top-flight players," remarked the player.

"I think I was a bit starstruck facing him to be honest.

"Even Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

"We competed well for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

"We really have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey home.

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
