A Greater Manchester side fields an amateur vets squad with 9 former Premier League players in their present squad.

222 Top Division Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Caps

Wythenshawe Vets Over 35s are situated in southern the city and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans Division Premier Tier.

The squad list this campaign includes nine ex- top-flight players, with a total 1,801 Premier League matches.

This star-studded squad also boasts over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 international appearances.

They feature one forward, who notched thirty-seven goals in 117 games for his former club after signing for them for nine million pounds from German league club SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for the team in their last home-field match versus reigning title holders their rivals and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two victory - including a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.

The squad for this season also features ex- professionals such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the former Premier League players have claimed 15 major honors and moved for total transfer sums of around £123m.

Household Figures and International Players

Ireland began turning out for the side in preseason this summer through good mate and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to participate.

Ex- Senegal striker Niasse, who netted twelve goals in 65 Premier League games for the Toffees and still goes to their home games, also made his debut versus the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented Niasse.

"After that he told me we were playing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Blue kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy football and you know you can still do it, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those people who come and see are happy and to give someone's moment if they see us playing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the joy of us having somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the squad depth at the club, Niasse made his first game at full-back.

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

"I tell my defender 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

"That running is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

Unreal Scenario

Along with Cisse's six scores on debut, Ireland has scored eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a triple in one game up front.

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

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over 200 Premier League matches.

"It was spreading like a rumor they had all these former top-flight players," remarked the player.

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

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

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

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

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

"Now we are eager for the return match."
