One Manchester team boasts an amateur vets team with nine ex- top-flight players in their present roster.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Caps

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

Their roster this campaign boasts 9 former top-flight players, with a collective 1,801 elite appearances.

This high-profile team also contains 222 top division goals and over 320 global caps.

They feature one forward, who scored 37 goals in over 100 appearances for his former club after joining them for £9m from Bundesliga club Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for the team in their most recent home match versus reigning title holders their rivals and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two win - featuring a half-hour first-half triple.

The roster for this campaign also features ex- professionals such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight footballers have secured fifteen big honors and moved for combined transfer fees of approximately £123m.

Household Names and Global Players

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side during preseason this summer through close friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also had his debut against the opposition - who are based in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen told me 'come and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented Niasse.

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

"When you still love the game and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who turn up and see are happy and to give a day if they see us playing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, he made his debut at defender.

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

"I tell my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to keep attacking.

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

'Surreal Experience

Along with the forward's six goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for the side, while George Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a triple in one match as a striker.

The team are leading of the Premier Division with three wins from 3 and a goal difference of +19.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against ex- Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Heskey was.

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

"It was spreading like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League players," remarked Barrow.

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

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

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally haven't ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mum and sibling on the journey home.

"The opponents were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a bunch of normal fellas.

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

We Will Still Win the Title'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate veterans team, who secured the Premier Division title the previous campaign, together with his co-manager.
