Household Figures and International Players

Ireland began playing for the team during preseason this summer through close friend and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek small-sided game, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who scored 12 scores in 65 top-flight matches for the Toffees and still goes to their home games, also had his first appearance against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their uniform.

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

"Then he informed me we were facing a side from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still love the game and you know you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The fans who come and watch are happy and to give a day if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at defender.

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored five on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a triple in one match up front.

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these former top-flight stars," remarked the player.

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

"Even Heskey got on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

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

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

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

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