"A mate Stephen said 'come and have a game, it's enjoyable'," said the striker.

"We literally have not stopped talking about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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