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

"The people who come and watch are pleased and to make a moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

"Our group really haven't stopped talking about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the way home.

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

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