Famous Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side during pre-season this season through good mate and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited other former professionals, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in sixty-five top-flight games for the Toffees and still attends their home games, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

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

"Then he told me we were facing a team from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"The fans who come and watch are pleased and to make someone's day if they see us playing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at the club, Niasse made his debut at defender.

"That's a bit different but then, I love running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

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

Unreal Scenario

Along with the forward's six scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one match up front.

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in over two hundred Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had these ex-Premier League players," remarked Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has 60-odd English appearances.

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

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

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

"Now we can't wait for the second match."

We Will Still Take the Title'
