Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Goals, 325 International Caps

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

Their squad list this campaign boasts 9 ex- top-flight footballers, with a collective 1,801 top-flight matches.

The elite team also includes over 220 Premier League scores and over 320 international caps.

The squad include Papiss Cisse, who scored thirty-seven scores in over 100 appearances for his former club after signing for them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home game versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six goals in a six-two win - including a 32-minute first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also includes former professionals such as English and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley winger George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight players have won 15 major trophies and transferred for total transfer sums of around £123 million.

Well-Known Names and International Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the team during preseason this season through close friend and current Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then invited additional ex-pros, who all play in a weekly small-sided game, to participate.

Former Senegal forward Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League games for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also had his first appearance against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen told me 'come and play, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy football and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

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

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse had 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 added.

"I tell my centre-back '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."

Dreamlike' Experience

Along with Cisse's six goals on debut, Ireland has scored eight in 3 appearances for the side, while George Boyd hit 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a hat-trick in one match up front.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Division with 3 victories from 3 and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, faced ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in more than 200 top-flight games.

"The news was spreading 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 got on and he's has 60-odd England caps.

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

"Our group literally have not stopped talking about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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

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

We Will Still Win the League'
