"A mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's enjoyable'," commented Niasse.

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

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

"The fans who turn up and see are happy and to give a moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

"Our group really have not ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the way home.

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