Famous Names and International Players

Ireland began turning out for the side during preseason this season through good mate and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked other former professionals, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who netted 12 goals in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and have a game, it's good fun'," said the striker.

"After that he told me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still enjoy football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"Those people who come and see are happy and to give someone's day if they see us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at full-back.

"It's a little different but then, I love running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

He has played at 2 global tournaments for his country, in addition to playing in more than two hundred Premier League games.

"It was going round like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League stars," said Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has 60-odd English caps.

"We held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was tough.

"Our group literally have not stopped talking about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the way home.

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

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
