Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 Premier League matches for Everton and even now attends their home games, also made his debut versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue training kit as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

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

"If you still love football and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those spectators who come and see are pleased and to make a day if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, he had his debut at defender.

"It's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I warn my defender 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to keep running.

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

'Surreal Feeling

He has played at 2 World Cups for his country, in addition to playing in over two hundred top-flight games.

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

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

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's got over 60 England appearances.

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

"We really haven't ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mother and brother on the journey home.

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a bunch of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the second match."
