Well-Known Names and Global Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the side in pre-season this season through close mate and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in 65 top-flight games for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut versus the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

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

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

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

"The fans who come and watch are pleased and to give a day if they see us competing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

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

"It's a bit different but then, I enjoy sprinting and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

"It was going round like a rumor they had these former top-flight players," said Barrow.

"I felt I was a little awestruck playing against him to be honest.

"Even Heskey came on and he's has over 60 English caps.

"Our side competed well for a good 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the way home.

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

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

'We'll Still Take the League'
