One Greater Manchester club has an amateur veterans team with 9 former Premier League footballers in their current squad.

222 Premier League Goals, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Caps

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

Their roster this campaign boasts 9 former top-flight footballers, with a collective over 1,800 Premier League appearances.

This high-profile roster also includes over 220 Premier League scores and 325 international appearances.

The squad feature Papiss Cisse, who netted thirty-seven scores in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after moving to them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for the team in their last home match versus defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six goals in a six-two win - including a 32-minute first-half triple.

The squad for this campaign also includes former pros such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight players have claimed fifteen major trophies and moved for combined transfer sums of around £123m.

Famous Figures and Global Stars

Ireland started turning out for the side during preseason this season through good mate and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited other ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight games for Everton and still goes to their home games, also had his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in the city and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

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

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"Those spectators who come and see are pleased and to give a moment if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his debut at full-back.

"It's a bit different but then, I love sprinting and just move forward - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

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

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

Unreal Feeling

Along with the forward's 6 goals on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while George Boyd scored five on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one game up front.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Division with three victories from three and a GD of +19.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 World Cups for his country, in addition to featuring in more than two hundred Premier League matches.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had these former top-flight stars," remarked Barrow.

"I felt I was a little awestruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

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

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was tough.

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

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

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

'We'll Still Win the League'

The manager coaches the Collegiate vets side, who secured the Premier Tier championship the previous campaign, along with his co-manager.

"Our team went one-nil ahead and had a
