One Manchester team has an amateur vets squad with 9 former Premier League footballers in their present squad.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Top Division Goals, 325 International Appearances

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

Their roster this campaign boasts nine ex- top-flight players, with a combined 1,801 top-flight appearances.

This high-profile team also contains 222 Premier League goals and 325 international caps.

They feature Papiss Cisse, who netted 37 scores in over 100 games for Newcastle United after signing for them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for the team in their most recent home match against reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six goals in a 6-2 victory - featuring a half-hour first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also features ex- pros such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the ex- Premier League players have won fifteen big honors and transferred for total transfer fees of about £123m.

Household Figures and International Stars

Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this summer through good friend and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

"A mate Stephen told me 'come and play, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

"Then he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you know you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who turn up and see 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 having somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

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

"It's a little unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go forward - 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.

"The running is what I'm after. It's enjoyable."

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to Cisse's 6 goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd hit five on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 global tournaments for his country, in addition to featuring in more than two hundred Premier League matches.

"It was going round like a rumor they had these ex-Premier League stars," said Barrow.

"I think I was a bit awestruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has over 60 English caps.

"We competed well for a solid 20 mins but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

"Our group really haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the journey home.

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of normal guys.

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

'We'll Still Win the League'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate vets side, who secured the Premier Tier championship last season, along with his co-manager.

"Our team went one-nil ahead and had a
