"A friend Stephen said 'come and have a game, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Blue kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you know you can still do it, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

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

"Also Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

"Our side held our own for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

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

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

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