Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 top-flight games for Everton and still goes to their home games, also made his debut versus the opposition - who are located in the city and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's good fun'," commented the striker.

"Then he told me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"The spectators who turn up and see are happy and to give a day if they see us competing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, Niasse had his first game at full-back.

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

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

"The movement is what I'm after. It's good fun."

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in more than 200 Premier League matches.

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

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

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

"Our side competed well for a good 20 minutes but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

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

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.

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