A Greater Manchester team fields an non-professional vets squad with nine former top-flight players in their present lineup.

222 Top Division Goals, 325 International Caps

The team Veterans Over-35s are located in southern Manchester and play in the Cheshire-based Vets Division Premier Tier.

The roster this campaign boasts nine ex- top-flight footballers, with a collective over 1,800 elite games.

The star-studded squad also boasts 222 Premier League scores and over 320 global appearances.

They include Papiss Cisse, who notched 37 scores in over 100 games for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from German league side Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their last home-field game versus defending champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a six-two victory - including a 32-minute opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this season also includes ex- pros such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former top-flight players have claimed 15 major honors and transferred for total transfer sums of about £123 million.

Famous Figures and International Stars

Ireland started turning out for the team in preseason this season through close mate and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve scores in 65 Premier League games for Everton and still goes to their home games, also made his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

"A mate Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Blue shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

"If you still love the game and you feel you can still play, wherever you can play, what are you going to do?

"Those spectators who come and watch are pleased and to make a day if they watch us competing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the joy of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at the club, Niasse had his first game at defender.

"It's a bit different but then, I enjoy running and just go inside - I'm not staying back that much," he said.

"I warn my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue running.

"The running is what I'm after. It's good fun."

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to the forward's six scores on debut, Ireland has scored eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Tier with 3 wins from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against ex- Wigan full-back Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in over 200 top-flight games.

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

"I think I was a bit awestruck playing against him to be honest.

"Also Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd English caps.

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

"We really haven't ceased chatting about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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

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

We Will Still Take the Title'
