Well-Known Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this season through close mate and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side game, to join in.

Ex- Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen said 'join and play, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

"After that he informed me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you know you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"Those spectators who turn up and watch are pleased and to make a day if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at defender.

"It's a bit different but then, I love running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League players," said the player.

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

"Even Heskey got on and he's got over 60 English appearances.

"We held our own for a good 20 mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

"Our group literally haven't ceased talking about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a bunch of regular fellas.

"Now we can't wait for the return fixture."
