In total, the ex- Premier League footballers have secured 15 major honors and moved for combined transfer sums of approximately £123m.

Household Figures and International Players

Ireland started playing for the team in pre-season this season through good mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then invited other former professionals, who all play in a midweek small-sided match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and even now attends their home games, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still love the game and you know you can still play, wherever you can play, what are you going to do?

"Those fans who come and see are happy and to give a day if they watch us competing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

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

"It's a bit different but then, I love sprinting and just move forward - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

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

"That movement is what I'm looking for. It's good fun."

Dreamlike' Scenario

Along with the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has netted eight in three games for the side, while George Boyd hit five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a triple in one match up front.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred top-flight matches.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had these former top-flight players," said the player.

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

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

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was tough.

"Our group really haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey 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 match."

We Will Still Win the League'
