"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," commented the striker.

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

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

"Those spectators who turn up and see are happy and to give a day if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."
