Famous Figures and Global Stars

Ireland began turning out for the team during pre-season this season through good friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other ex-pros, who all play in a weekly small-sided game, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in 65 Premier League games for the Toffees and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen told me 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"Then he told me we were playing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I say this is wrong for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who turn up and watch are happy and to give a day if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his first game at defender.

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

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

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for his country, in as well as featuring in over 200 top-flight games.

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

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

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

"We competed well for a good twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was tough.

"Our group really haven't ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the way home.

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

"Now we can't wait for the return fixture."
