"My friend Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them wearing Blue shirts - I say this is strange for me!

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

"The people who turn up and watch are pleased and to give a day if they watch us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

Such is the strength in depth at the club, he made his first game at full-back.

"It's a little different but then, I love running and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

"The movement is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

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

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

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

"Our side held our own for a good twenty mins but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally have not stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the journey home.

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

"Now we are eager for the second match."
