A Greater Manchester side fields an non-professional veterans squad with nine former top-flight players in their present squad.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Goals, 325 Global Caps

Wythenshawe Vets Over-35s are situated in south the city and play in the Cheshire-based Vets League Premier Division.

The lineup this campaign boasts nine former top-flight players, with a total nearly 1,800 top-flight games.

This star-studded squad also includes over 220 top division scores and over 320 global caps.

They feature Papiss Cisse, who scored 37 goals in over 100 appearances for Newcastle United after moving to them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for the team in their last home match against reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six scores in a six-two win - featuring a half-hour first-half hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's squad for this season also includes ex- pros such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the ex- Premier League footballers have secured 15 major trophies and moved for total transfer fees of approximately £123m.

Household Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the team during pre-season this season through close mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then invited additional ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegal forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in 65 top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their home games, also had his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them sporting Everton kits - I say this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy football and you know you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"Those people who come and see are pleased and to give someone's moment if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, he had his first game at full-back.

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's 6 goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in three games for the side, while George Boyd scored 5 on his first match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one match as a striker.

The team are leading of the Premier Division with three wins from 3 and a GD of +19.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the flank for the opposition, faced former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred top-flight matches.

"It was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," remarked Barrow.

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

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has over 60 England appearances.

"We competed well for a good twenty mins but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"Our group literally haven't ceased chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the journey home.

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

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

We Will Still Take the Title'
