A Manchester side fields an non-professional vets team with nine former Premier League footballers in their current squad.

222 Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Appearances

The team Vets Over-35s are situated in southern Manchester and play in the Cheshire-based Vets Division Top Division.

Their roster this campaign includes nine ex- Premier League footballers, with a combined nearly 1,800 elite matches.

The star-studded squad also includes 222 Premier League scores and over 320 international appearances.

The squad feature one forward, who notched 37 scores in over 100 games for Newcastle United after joining them for £9m from German league club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their most recent home match against reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a six-two win - including a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.

The team for this campaign also includes ex- pros such as England and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the former Premier League footballers have claimed fifteen significant trophies and moved for total transfer fees of around £123 million.

Household Figures and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side during preseason this season through good friend and present team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited additional ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 Premier League matches for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

"My friend Stephen Ireland said 'join and play, it's enjoyable'," said the striker.

"After that he informed me we were playing a side from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"The people who turn up and watch are pleased and to give a day if they see us competing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his debut at defender.

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

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

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

'Surreal Experience

In addition to Cisse's 6 goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for the side, while Boyd scored 5 on his debut match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one game up front.

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

One opponent, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced ex- Latics full-back Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Heskey was.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to featuring in more than 200 top-flight matches.

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

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's got over 60 England appearances.

"We competed well for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We literally have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the journey home.

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

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

'We'll Still Take the League'
