Well-Known Names and Global Players

Ireland started turning out for the team during preseason this season through good friend and current Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then invited additional former professionals, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 scores in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

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

"If you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can play, what are you going to choose?

"The people who turn up and watch are pleased and to make someone's moment if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse 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 tell my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue running.

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

Dreamlike' Scenario

Along with Cisse's six scores on debut, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, scored a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

One opponent, 38, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred top-flight games.

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

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's got over 60 England caps.

"We held our own for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

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

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

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

We Will Still Win the Title'
