A Manchester team fields an non-professional vets squad with nine former Premier League players in their present roster.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Scores, 325 International Caps

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

The squad list this season boasts nine ex- top-flight players, with a combined over 1,800 Premier League appearances.

This elite team also includes 222 top division scores and 325 global caps.

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

He made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field match versus defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a 6-2 victory - including a half-hour first-half hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's roster for this campaign also features former professionals such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight players have secured fifteen big honors and moved for total transfer fees of around £123m.

Well-Known Figures and International Players

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side in pre-season this summer through good mate and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then invited other ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side game, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's enjoyable'," said Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were playing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I say this is strange for me!

"When you still love football and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The people who come and see are pleased and to make someone's moment if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the strength in depth at the club, Niasse made his first game at full-back.

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

Along with Cisse's six scores on debut, Ireland has scored eight in 3 games for the side, while George Boyd hit five on his debut match and Lescott, a defender by position, notched a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Division with 3 victories from three and a GD of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against former Latics full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two World Cups for Honduras, in as well as playing in over two hundred top-flight matches.

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

"I think I was a bit starstruck facing him to be honest.

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

"Our side competed well for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

"Our group really have not stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the way home.

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a bunch of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the second match."

'We'll Still Take the League'
