A Manchester side fields an non-professional veterans team with nine former top-flight footballers in their current lineup.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Caps

Wythenshawe Vets Over-35s are based in south the city and compete in the Cheshire-based Vets League Premier Tier.

Their roster this season includes nine ex- Premier League footballers, with a combined 1,801 elite matches.

The high-profile squad also boasts 222 Premier League scores and over 320 international appearances.

They include one forward, who scored 37 scores in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after signing for them for £9m from German league side Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their most recent home game against reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six scores in a six-two victory - featuring a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.

The team for this campaign also includes former pros such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the former Premier League players have won 15 big trophies and transferred for combined transfer sums of approximately £123 million.

Household Figures and Global Players

Ireland started playing for the side in pre-season this season through good friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then invited additional former professionals, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side game, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and even now attends their home games, also made his debut against the opposition - who are based in the city and use an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen Ireland said 'join and play, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

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

"When you still enjoy football and you know you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"The people who turn up and watch are happy and to make a moment if they see us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, he made his debut at defender.

"That's a little different but then, I love running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue running.

"That running is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

'Surreal Feeling

In addition to Cisse's 6 goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd hit 5 on his first appearance and Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Division with 3 victories from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, faced ex- Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for his country, in addition to playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had all these former top-flight stars," remarked the player.

"I think I was a bit awestruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

"Even Heskey got on and he's has 60-odd England caps.

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

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

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

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

'We'll Still Win the Title'
