Famous Names and International Players

Ireland started playing for the side in pre-season this summer through good mate and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked additional former professionals, who all play in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 top-flight matches for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and use an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

"Then he informed me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue shirts - I say this is strange for me!

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

"The fans who turn up and see are pleased and to make a day if they see us competing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he had his debut at full-back.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just move inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

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

'Surreal Scenario

Along with Cisse's 6 goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in 3 appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, scored a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Division with 3 victories from three and a GD of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who plays on the wing for the opposition, faced former Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for his country, in as well as featuring in more than 200 Premier League games.

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

"I think I was a little awestruck playing against him to be honest.

"Also Heskey got on and he's has 60-odd England caps.

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

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

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

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

'We'll Still Win the Title'
