Ex- Senegal striker Niasse, who netted 12 scores in 65 top-flight games for Everton and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and use an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen told me 'come and play, it's good fun'," said the striker.

"Then he told me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"The people 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 more like the joy of us getting somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the strength in depth at the club, he had his first game at defender.

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

"It was going round like a rumor they had these former top-flight stars," remarked the player.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has 60-odd English caps.

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We really haven't stopped talking about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the way home.

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of normal fellas.

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