One Manchester club boasts an amateur veterans squad with 9 ex- Premier League players in their present lineup.

222 Top Division Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Caps

The team Vets Over-35s are based in southern the city and play in the Cheshire Veterans League Top Division.

Their roster this season boasts 9 former Premier League footballers, with a collective nearly 1,800 elite appearances.

The star-studded roster also boasts over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 international caps.

They feature Papiss Cisse, who netted thirty-seven goals in over 100 games for Newcastle United after moving to them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in 2012.

He had his first appearance for the team in their most recent home-field match versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six goals in a 6-2 victory - featuring a 32-minute opening period hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's roster for this season also includes former pros such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- Premier League players have claimed 15 significant honors and transferred for combined transfer sums of approximately £123 million.

Household Figures and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side during preseason this summer through close mate and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked additional ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided match, to participate.

Former Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and even now attends their home games, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's enjoyable'," said the striker.

"Then he told me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Blue shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who come and see are pleased and to give a moment if they see us competing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

"That's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just go forward - I'm not staying back that much," he said.

"I warn my defender 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to keep attacking.

"That running is what I'm after. It's good fun."

Unreal Feeling

Along with Cisse's 6 goals on his first game, Ireland has scored eight in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit five on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, notched a hat-trick in one match up front.

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

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Latics full-back Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in more than 200 Premier League matches.

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

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

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's got over 60 England appearances.

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

"Our group really haven't ceased chatting about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the way home.

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

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

We Will Still Take the Title'

The manager coaches the opposition veterans team, who won the Top Tier championship last season, together with Paul Maguire.
