"My mate Stephen told me 'join and have a game, it's enjoyable'," said the striker.

"After that he told me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Blue shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"Our group really haven't ceased talking about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the journey home.

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