Well-Known Names and Global Players

Ireland started turning out for the team during preseason this summer through good friend and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against the opposition - who are based in the city and use an Everton training kit as their strip.

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

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

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

"The people who come and watch are happy and to make a day if they watch us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at the club, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

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

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

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

Dreamlike' Scenario

In addition to Cisse's 6 goals on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd scored 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one match up front.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than two hundred Premier League matches.

"It was going round like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League players," remarked Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has 60-odd England caps.

"Our side competed well for a good twenty mins but then we had a man sent off and it was tough.

"We really haven't ceased talking about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the way home.

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."
