Well-Known Names and International Players

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League 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 wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My friend Stephen said 'come and play, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"After that he told me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy football and you feel you can still do it, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"Those spectators who come and watch are happy and to give someone's moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

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

"That's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just go inside - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

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

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

"The news was spreading like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," said the player.

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

"Even Heskey came on and he's got over 60 English caps.

"Our side held our own for a good twenty mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

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

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

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

'We'll Still Win the Title'
