Well-Known Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side in pre-season this season through good friend and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked other former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided game, to join in.

Former Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 Premier League games for the Toffees and still attends their home games, also made his debut against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen Ireland told me 'come and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

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

"If you still love football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those people who come and see are happy and to make someone's day if they see us competing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

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

"It's a bit different but then, I enjoy sprinting and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue running.

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

Dreamlike' Scenario

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a triple in one match as a striker.

The team are leading of the Premier Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against ex- Wigan defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Heskey was.

He has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than two hundred top-flight games.

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Take the League'
