Well-Known Figures and International Stars

Ireland began playing for the team during preseason this season through close mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then asked other former professionals, who all compete in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen Ireland said 'come and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Blue kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still love the game and you know you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those fans who come and see are pleased and to make someone's moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at defender.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go forward - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to keep attacking.

"That movement is what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable."

He has played at 2 World Cups for his country, in addition to playing in over 200 top-flight matches.

"It was spreading like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," said the player.

"I think I was a bit awestruck playing against him to be honest.

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's got 60-odd England appearances.

"Our side held our own for a good 20 mins but then we had a player sent off and it was tough.

"Our group literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the way home.

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a group of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
