Ex- Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 Premier League games for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland said 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

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

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

"Those spectators who turn up and see are happy and to make a moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

"It's a bit different but then, I love running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"Also Heskey got on and he's has over 60 English caps.

"We held our own for a solid 20 mins but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

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

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

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