Household Names and International Players

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the side in pre-season this summer through close mate and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked other former professionals, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and even now goes to their home games, also had his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

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

"Then he told me we were facing a side from the city and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Blue kits - I say this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"Those spectators who come and watch are happy and to give a moment if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his first game at full-back.

"It's a little unusual but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not staying back that much," he said.

"I warn my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue running.

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

Dreamlike' Scenario

Along with the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for the side, while Boyd scored 5 on his first match and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a triple in one match as a striker.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Heskey was.

He has appeared at two global tournaments for his country, in addition to playing in more than two hundred top-flight games.

"The news was spreading like a rumor they had all these former top-flight players," said Barrow.

"I felt I was a little awestruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has over 60 English appearances.

"We competed well for a good twenty mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

"Our group literally have not stopped talking about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the journey home.

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we can't wait for the second match."
