Famous Names and Global Stars

Ireland started turning out for the team in preseason this summer through good friend and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who scored twelve scores in 65 Premier League games for Everton and even now goes to their home games, also made his debut against the opposition - who are based in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Everton kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If 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?

"Those spectators who come and see are happy and to make a moment if they see us competing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, Niasse made his first game at defender.

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

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

"The movement is what I'm seeking. It's enjoyable."

'Surreal Scenario

In addition to the forward's six scores on debut, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one game up front.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young son who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at 2 World Cups for his country, in addition to playing in more than two hundred Premier League matches.

"The news was spreading like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League stars," said the player.

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

"Also Heskey got on and he's has 60-odd English caps.

"We held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"We really have not stopped talking about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the journey home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Win the League'
