Household Names and International Players

Former Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and still goes to their home games, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"A mate Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"After that he told me we were playing a side from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Blue shirts - I say this is strange 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 do?

"Those fans who come and watch are happy and to make someone's day if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the joy of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his first game at full-back.

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

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

"The running is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

Dreamlike' Experience

He has appeared at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in more than two hundred top-flight matches.

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

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

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

"We held our own for a good 20 mins but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

"Our group literally have not stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the journey home.

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

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