Famous Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland started playing for the team in preseason this summer through good friend and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then asked other former professionals, who all compete in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Ex- Senegal forward Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for Everton and even now goes to their home games, also made his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'join and play, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

"Then he told me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Blue shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still love the game and you know you can still do it, wherever you can play, what are you going to do?

"The people who come and watch are pleased and to give a day if they watch us competing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his first game at defender.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

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

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

'Surreal Feeling

In addition to Cisse's six goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for the opposition, came up against former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in more than 200 top-flight games.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had these ex-Premier League stars," said the player.

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

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

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

"We really haven't stopped talking about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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

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

We Will Still Win the League'
