"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

"After that he told me we were facing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"Those fans who turn up and watch are happy and to make someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

"I think I was a little awestruck facing him to be honest.

"Also Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd English appearances.

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

"We really haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the way home.

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a bunch of normal guys.

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