A Manchester team boasts an amateur veterans team with nine former Premier League players in their active roster.

222 Premier League Goals, 325 International Appearances

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

Their squad list this season boasts nine former Premier League players, with a collective over 1,800 elite matches.

This elite team also boasts over 220 top division scores and over 320 international appearances.

The squad include one forward, who scored 37 scores in over 100 games for his former club after joining them for £9m from German league side Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for the team in their most recent home match versus defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six goals in a six-two win - including a 32-minute opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also includes ex- pros such as England and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former Premier League footballers have secured 15 significant trophies and transferred for combined transfer sums of about £123 million.

Household Figures and International Players

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the team during preseason this season through close mate and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked additional ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve scores in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen said 'join and play, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

"Then he told me we were facing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"Those fans who turn up and see are happy and to give a day if they watch us playing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, he had his first game at defender.

"That's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not defending 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 seeking. It's good fun."

Unreal Scenario

In addition to the forward's six scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Tier with three victories from 3 and a goal difference of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for his country, in addition to playing in more than 200 Premier League games.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," said Barrow.

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

"Even Heskey came on and he's got over 60 English caps.

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

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

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of regular guys.

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

We Will Still Win the League'
