A Greater Manchester side fields an amateur veterans squad with 9 ex- Premier League players in their present squad.

222 Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Appearances

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

Their squad list this campaign includes nine ex- top-flight players, with a collective nearly 1,800 top-flight appearances.

This star-studded team also includes over 220 top division scores and 325 international caps.

They feature Papiss Cisse, who scored 37 goals in over 100 appearances for Newcastle United after joining them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side Freiburg in 2012.

He made his debut for the team in their last home game versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six scores in a six-two win - featuring a 32-minute opening period hat-trick.

The roster for this season also features former pros such as English and Anfield 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 winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- Premier League players have won 15 major trophies and moved for total transfer sums of about £123m.

Household Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side during preseason this season through good friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Ex- Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen told me 'come and play, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

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

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

"Those spectators who turn up and see are pleased and to give someone's day if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at the club, he made his first game at full-back.

"That's a bit different but then, I love sprinting and just go 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 running is what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable."

'Surreal Scenario

Along with the forward's six scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit five on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one match up front.

The team are top of the Premier Division with 3 victories from 3 and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

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

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

"Even Emile [Heskey] came on and he's got 60-odd English appearances.

"Our side held our own for a good twenty mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was tough.

"We literally haven't stopped talking about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the way home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Take the League'
