Well-Known Figures and Global Players

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"When you still love football and you feel you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"The fans who turn up and see are happy and to make someone's day if they see us competing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

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

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

"Our group really have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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