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

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from the city and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Everton kits - I say this is strange for me!

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

"Those people who come and see are pleased and to make someone's day if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

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

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

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

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

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