"A friend Stephen said 'join and play, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

"Then he informed me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Blue shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still enjoy football 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 a moment if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

"It's a bit different but then, I enjoy running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"Our group really have not stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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

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