A Greater Manchester side boasts an non-professional veterans squad with nine ex- top-flight players in their active squad.

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

Wythenshawe Vets Over-35s are located in southern Manchester and play in the Cheshire Vets League Premier Division.

Their lineup this campaign includes nine ex- Premier League players, with a collective nearly 1,800 Premier League games.

This high-profile team also contains 222 top division goals and 325 international caps.

They include one forward, who scored thirty-seven goals in 117 games for his former club after signing for them for £9m from German league club Freiburg in 2012.

He had his debut for the team in their last home match against defending title holders their rivals and netted all six scores in a 6-2 win - including a half-hour opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this season also features former pros such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former Premier League footballers have claimed 15 significant trophies and moved for combined transfer fees of about £123m.

Household Names and International Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the team during pre-season this summer through good friend and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then asked additional ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided match, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 scores in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue shirts - I say this is strange for me!

"When you still love the game and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"The fans who come and see are happy and to give a moment if they see us competing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his first game at full-back.

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

"I warn my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

"The movement is what I'm after. It's enjoyable."

Unreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's six scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in three appearances for the side, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

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

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for Collegiate OB, faced ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

He has appeared at two World Cups for his country, in as well as featuring in over two hundred Premier League matches.

"The news was spreading like a rumor they had these ex-Premier League stars," said the player.

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

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

"Our side held our own for a good 20 mins but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

"We literally have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Take the League'
