Household Figures and International Players

Ireland started turning out for the side in pre-season this season through close friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then asked additional former professionals, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 goals in 65 top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"My friend Stephen Ireland said 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

"Then he told me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue shirts - I say this is strange for me!

"When you still love football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those spectators who turn up and see are happy and to give a day if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the joy of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at full-back.

"It's a little unusual but then, I love running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

He has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than two hundred Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League stars," remarked the player.

"I felt I was a bit starstruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

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

"We held our own for a good 20 minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was tough.

"We literally have not ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mother and brother on the journey home.

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

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
