"My friend Stephen Ireland told me 'come and play, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

"Then he informed me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"The fans who come and see are happy and to give a day if they see us competing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the joy of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

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

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

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

"Our group literally haven't ceased chatting 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.
