In total, the former top-flight players have claimed fifteen major honors and moved for total transfer sums of approximately £123m.

Household Figures and International Stars

Ireland started turning out for the team in preseason this season through close friend and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side game, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who scored 12 scores in 65 Premier League games for the Toffees and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their uniform.

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

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

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

"Those people who come and see are happy and to give a moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his debut at full-back.

"It's a little unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just move inside - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

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

"That running is what I'm after. It's enjoyable."

Dreamlike' Scenario

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against former Latics defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

He has played at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than two hundred top-flight games.

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

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

"Also Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd English caps.

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"We literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mother and brother on the way home.

"The opponents were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a bunch of regular guys.

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

'We'll Still Win the Title'
