The team Vets Over 35s are located in southern the city and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans Division Top Division.

Famous Figures and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the side during pre-season this season through close friend and present team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited other former professionals, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Ex- Senegal striker Niasse, who scored twelve scores in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

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

"Then he told me we were playing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them wearing Everton shirts - I say this is strange for me!

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

"Those people who come and watch are happy and to give someone's moment if they see us playing there and to ask 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 the club, he had his first game at full-back.

"It's a bit different but then, I love sprinting and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

Dreamlike' Feeling

Along with the forward's six scores on debut, Ireland has scored 8 in three appearances for the side, while Boyd hit 5 on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, scored a triple in one match up front.

Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Division with three wins from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Wigan full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in more than 200 top-flight games.

"It was going round like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League players," said Barrow.

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

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

"We competed well for a solid twenty mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was tough.

"Our group literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the way home.

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

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

We Will Still Take the League'
