One Greater Manchester side fields an amateur vets team with 9 former top-flight footballers in their current squad.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Top Division Goals, 325 Global Appearances

Wythenshawe Veterans Over-35s are based in southern Manchester and compete in the Cheshire Vets League Top Division.

The squad list this campaign features 9 ex- Premier League footballers, with a collective over 1,800 elite matches.

This elite roster also includes over 220 top division goals and 325 global caps.

The squad include one forward, who scored 37 goals in 117 appearances for his former club after moving to them for £9m from German league side SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field match versus reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six scores in a 6-2 win - including a 32-minute opening period hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also features former professionals such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- Premier League players have won 15 major honors and transferred for total transfer sums of around £123m.

Well-Known Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the team during pre-season this season through close mate and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked additional ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Ex- Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in 65 Premier League games for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut versus the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"A friend Stephen Ireland said 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"Then he told me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I say this is strange for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still play, 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 moment if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the squad depth at the club, Niasse had his debut at defender.

"It's a little different but then, I enjoy sprinting and just move inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue running.

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

Unreal Feeling

In addition to the forward's six goals on debut, Ireland has netted 8 in 3 games for the side, while Boyd hit five on his debut appearance and Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one match up front.

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

One opponent, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced ex- Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at two global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in more than 200 Premier League games.

"It was going round like wildfire they had all these former top-flight stars," said Barrow.

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

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

"We competed well for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was tough.

"Our group literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the journey home.

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

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Take the League'
