Household Figures and Global Stars

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for Everton and even now attends their home games, also had his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

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

"After that he told me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

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

"Those fans who come and see are pleased and to give a day if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he made his debut at defender.

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

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

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these former top-flight players," remarked the player.

"I think I was a little starstruck playing against him to be honest.

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

"We held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the way home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."
