222 Top Division Goals, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Caps

The team Veterans Over 35s are located in southern the city and play in the Cheshire Vets Division Premier Division.

Their roster this campaign includes nine ex- top-flight players, with a collective over 1,800 elite appearances.

The star-studded roster also contains over 220 Premier League scores and over 320 global caps.

They feature one forward, who scored thirty-seven goals in over 100 games for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their last home-field match against reigning title holders their rivals and netted all six goals in a six-two victory - featuring a 32-minute opening period triple.

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

Collectively, the former Premier League footballers have won 15 significant honors and moved for combined transfer sums of around £123 million.

Household Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side during preseason this summer through good friend and current Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then asked additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side game, to join in.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who netted 12 scores in 65 Premier League games for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and use an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'come and play, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

"Then he informed me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still enjoy football and you know you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The fans who come and watch are happy and to give a moment if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the bench strength at the club, Niasse made his first game at defender.

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

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

"The movement is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

Unreal Feeling

Along with the forward's six scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one match up front.

The team are leading of the Premier Tier with three wins from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced ex- Wigan full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Heskey was.

He has appeared at two global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as playing in over 200 top-flight games.

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

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

"Also Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

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

"Our group literally haven't stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the way home.

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

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

We Will Still Win the Title'
