A Greater Manchester team has an non-professional veterans team with 9 former top-flight players in their present squad.

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

Wythenshawe Veterans Over 35s are located in south Manchester and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans Division Premier Tier.

Their roster this season includes 9 former top-flight footballers, with a total nearly 1,800 Premier League games.

This star-studded roster also includes over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 international appearances.

The squad feature one forward, who scored thirty-seven scores in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after signing for them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their most recent home game versus defending champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two victory - featuring a 32-minute first-half triple.

The team for this season also features former pros such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former top-flight footballers have won 15 big honors and transferred for total transfer sums of about £123m.

Household Figures and Global Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the team during pre-season this summer through close mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then asked additional ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Former Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and still attends their home games, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen told me 'come and play, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

"After that he told me we were facing a team from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton shirts - I say this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can play, what are you going to do?

"Those people who turn up and watch are pleased and to make someone's day if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at full-back.

"That's a little unusual but then, I enjoy running and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

'Surreal Feeling

Along with the forward's six scores on debut, Ireland has netted eight in 3 appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit 5 on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Tier with 3 wins from three and a GD of +19.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in as well as playing in over 200 Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League players," said the player.

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

"Also Heskey came on and he's got over 60 England caps.

"We competed well for a good twenty mins but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

"We really have not ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the journey home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of regular guys.

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

We Will Still Win the Title'
