One Greater Manchester side fields an amateur vets team with 9 ex- top-flight footballers in their active squad.

222 Premier League Scores, 325 Global Caps

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

The squad list this campaign features nine former Premier League players, with a total 1,801 Premier League appearances.

This star-studded roster also boasts 222 Premier League goals and over 320 global caps.

They include Papiss Cisse, who notched thirty-seven scores in over 100 appearances for Newcastle United after signing for them for nine million pounds from German league club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their most recent home match versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a 6-2 victory - featuring a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's roster for this season also features ex- pros such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley winger George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- Premier League players have secured fifteen big trophies and transferred for total transfer sums of approximately £123m.

Famous Figures and Global Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the team during pre-season this season through good mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then asked additional ex-pros, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who netted twelve goals in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and still goes to their home games, also had his debut against the opposition - who are based in the city and wear an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen told me 'join and play, it's good fun'," said the striker.

"After that he told me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you know you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The people who come and see are pleased and to give a day if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at the club, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I love sprinting and just go inside - I'm not staying back that much," he said.

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

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

Unreal Experience

In addition to Cisse's six goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd hit five on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a hat-trick in one match up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Division with 3 wins from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced former Latics defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Heskey was.

He has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League stars," remarked Barrow.

"I think I was a little starstruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

"Also Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

"We held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was tough.

"We literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the way home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

'We'll Still Take the League'
