A Manchester team boasts an non-professional veterans team with nine ex- Premier League players in their present lineup.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Goals, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Appearances

Wythenshawe Vets Over-35s are based in southern the city and compete in the Cheshire Veterans Division Premier Tier.

Their lineup this campaign features nine ex- Premier League footballers, with a combined nearly 1,800 Premier League matches.

The star-studded team also contains 222 top division scores and 325 international appearances.

The squad feature Papiss Cisse, who notched thirty-seven goals in 117 games for Newcastle United after signing for them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home game versus reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six goals in a six-two victory - including a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

The roster for this campaign also features ex- professionals such as English and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- top-flight footballers have won fifteen major honors and transferred for total transfer fees of around £123m.

Well-Known Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side in pre-season this season through close friend and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side game, to join in.

Ex- Senegal forward Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also made his debut against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen said 'come and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Blue kits - I say this is strange for me!

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

"Those spectators who come 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 somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

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

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

"I tell my centre-back 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

"The movement is what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable."

Unreal Experience

Along with the forward's six goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored 5 on his first appearance and Lescott, a defender by position, scored a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than 200 top-flight matches.

"It was going round like wildfire they had these former top-flight stars," remarked Barrow.

"I felt I was a little awestruck facing him to be honest.

"Even Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

"We held our own for a solid 20 mins but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally have not stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the way home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a bunch of regular guys.

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

We Will Still Take the League'
