222 Top Division Goals, 325 International Appearances

Wythenshawe Vets Over 35s are situated in south the city and play in the Cheshire-based Vets League Top Tier.

Their roster this campaign features nine ex- Premier League players, with a collective nearly 1,800 Premier League matches.

The star-studded squad also boasts over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 international caps.

The squad include Papiss Cisse, who scored 37 scores in over 100 games for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home-field game against defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a six-two win - including a 32-minute first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also includes former professionals such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley winger George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former Premier League players have won fifteen major trophies and transferred for combined transfer fees of about £123m.

Well-Known Figures and International Players

Ireland started turning out for the team during preseason this season through good friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked other former professionals, who all compete in a midweek small-sided game, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and still attends their home games, also had his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

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

"Then he told me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Everton kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still enjoy football and you feel you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who turn up and watch are pleased and to give a moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

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

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

"I warn my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue running.

"The running is what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable."

'Surreal Experience

In addition to Cisse's six goals on debut, Ireland has netted 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored 5 on his debut match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one game up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Division with three wins from three and a goal difference of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at two global tournaments for his country, in addition to featuring in over two hundred Premier League matches.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had all these former top-flight stars," said the player.

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

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

"We held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was tough.

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

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

"Now we are eager for the second match."

We Will Still Win the Title'
