Household Names and Global Players

Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this summer through close friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side game, to participate.

Ex- Senegal forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in 65 Premier League matches for Everton and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance against the opposition - who are based in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My friend Stephen said 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

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

"If you still love football and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to do?

"The people who come and watch are pleased and to give a day if they see us playing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

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

"It's a little unusual but then, I love running and just go forward - 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 running.

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

Dreamlike' Feeling

Along with Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has scored eight in 3 games for the side, while George Boyd hit 5 on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one match up front.

He has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in as well as featuring in over two hundred top-flight matches.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League stars," remarked the player.

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

"Also Heskey came on and he's has over 60 England caps.

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

"Our group literally have not ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the way home.

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

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