A Manchester side boasts an non-professional vets team with 9 former Premier League players in their current lineup.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Top Division Goals, 325 International Caps

Wythenshawe Veterans Over-35s are situated in south Manchester and play in the Cheshire Vets League Top Tier.

Their roster this season boasts nine former top-flight players, with a total over 1,800 top-flight games.

The star-studded roster also contains over 220 Premier League scores and over 320 international caps.

The squad feature one forward, who notched 37 scores in over 100 appearances for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from German league side SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for the team in their last home match versus defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six goals in a six-two win - featuring a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.

The team for this season also includes former professionals such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the ex- Premier League footballers have won fifteen big trophies and moved for combined transfer sums of about £123 million.

Household Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the team in pre-season this summer through close mate and current Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided game, to participate.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were playing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue kits - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"Those fans who turn up and watch are happy and to make a day if they watch us competing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he made his first game at full-back.

"It's a bit different but then, I love running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

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

Unreal Feeling

In addition to the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for the side, while George Boyd hit five on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one game up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Tier with three victories from three and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two World Cups for his country, in as well as playing in more than 200 top-flight matches.

"It was going round like wildfire they had these former top-flight players," said the player.

"I felt I was a little awestruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

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

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

"Our group really have not stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the way home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

'We'll Still Take the Title'
