Well-Known Names and International Stars

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

Ex- Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve goals in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'come and play, it's enjoyable'," said Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were playing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to do?

"Those people who come and watch are pleased and to make someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he made his debut at defender.

"That's a little different but then, I love running and just move inside - 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 running.

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

Dreamlike' Feeling

Along with the forward's 6 goals on debut, Ireland has netted eight in 3 appearances for the side, while George Boyd hit five on his debut match and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a hat-trick in one game up front.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

"The news was spreading like a rumor they had these former top-flight players," remarked Barrow.

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

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

"We held our own for a solid twenty mins but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally have not ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mum and sibling on the way home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

'We'll Still Take the Title'
