222 Premier League Scores, 325 International Appearances

The team Vets Over 35s are situated in southern Manchester and compete in the Cheshire Veterans Division Top Tier.

The roster this season features nine former top-flight footballers, with a total 1,801 Premier League appearances.

The elite squad also includes over 220 top division scores and 325 international caps.

They include Papiss Cisse, who notched thirty-seven goals in over 100 games for his former club after signing for them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in January 2012.

He had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home-field game versus reigning title holders their rivals and scored all six goals in a six-two win - including a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also features former professionals such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight players have claimed fifteen major honors and transferred for total transfer sums of around £123m.

Famous Figures and Global Stars

Ireland began turning out for the side during pre-season this summer through good friend and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Ex- Senegal forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and even now goes to their home games, also made his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," said the striker.

"Then he informed me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton shirts - I say 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 do?

"The fans who turn up and watch are happy and to make someone's moment if they watch us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his first game at full-back.

"That's a bit different but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

Dreamlike' Experience

In addition to the forward's six goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in three games for the side, while George Boyd hit 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one game up front.

The team are top of the Premier Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a GD of +19.

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

He has played at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in over 200 Premier League games.

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

"I felt I was a bit awestruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

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

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

"We really haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."
