The team Vets Over-35s are located in southern the city and compete in the Cheshire Vets League Top Division.

The star-studded roster also contains over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 global appearances.

The squad feature one forward, who scored thirty-seven scores in over 100 games for his former club after signing for them for £9m from Bundesliga club Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their most recent home-field match versus reigning title holders their rivals and scored all six scores in a six-two victory - including a half-hour opening period triple.

Together, the ex- Premier League players have secured 15 major honors and moved for combined transfer fees of approximately £123 million.

Household Names and International Players

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side during preseason this summer through good friend and current Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a midweek small-sided game, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut against Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"A friend Stephen said 'come and play, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

"After that he told me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them wearing Blue shirts - I say this is strange for me!

"If you still love football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"The people who turn up and watch are happy and to make a moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the joy of us getting a place we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

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

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

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

Dreamlike' Scenario

Along with the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his first appearance and Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young son who Heskey was.

He has played at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to playing in more than two hundred top-flight matches.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League players," remarked the player.

"I felt I was a bit awestruck playing against him to be honest.

"Also Heskey came on and he's got over 60 England caps.

"Our side competed well for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

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

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a bunch of normal guys.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Win the Title'
