Famous Names and International Players

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the team in preseason this season through good friend and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then asked additional former professionals, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side game, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League games for the Toffees and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'join and play, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were playing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Everton kits - I say this is strange for me!

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

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

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at defender.

"That's a little unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go 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 keep running.

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

Figueroa has appeared at two global tournaments for his country, in addition to playing in more than two hundred Premier League matches.

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

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

"Even Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd English caps.

"Our side competed well for a good twenty minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

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

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the second match."

We Will Still Win the Title'
