Famous Figures and Global Stars

Ex- Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight games for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

"My friend Stephen Ireland told me 'come and play, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I say this is wrong for me!

"If you still love the game and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who come and watch are happy and to make someone's day if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

"It's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to keep attacking.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had these former top-flight stars," said the player.

"I felt I was a bit awestruck facing him to be honest.

"Also Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

"Our side held our own for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a bunch of normal guys.

"Now we are eager for the second match."
