Famous Figures and International Players

Ireland started turning out for the team during preseason this season through good mate and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side game, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted twelve goals in sixty-five top-flight games for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"My friend Stephen told me 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

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

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

So great is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at defender.

"It's a bit unusual but then, I love running and just move inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue running.

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

Unreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit five on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, notched a triple in one game up front.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced ex- Latics full-back Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than two hundred Premier League games.

"The news was spreading like a rumor they had these former top-flight stars," remarked Barrow.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We Will Still Win the Title'
