Famous Figures and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side during preseason this season through good mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then asked additional former professionals, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side game, to join in.

Ex- Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen told me 'come and play, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

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

"When you still love football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can play, what are you going to do?

"Those people who come and see are happy and to make a moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he made his first game at full-back.

"That's a bit different but then, I love running and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I warn my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

"The movement is what I'm after. It's enjoyable."

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to the forward's six scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in three appearances for the side, while George Boyd scored 5 on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, notched a triple in one match as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than 200 top-flight matches.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had all these former top-flight players," remarked the player.

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

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

"Our side competed well for a good twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

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

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

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
