Former Senegalese forward Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight games for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

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

"When you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"Those fans who turn up and watch are pleased and to give someone's day if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

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

"We literally have not ceased talking about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the way home.

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

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