Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Scores, 325 Global Appearances

The team Vets Over-35s are located in south the city and play in the Cheshire Veterans League Premier Tier.

The high-profile squad also boasts over 220 Premier League scores and 325 global caps.

They include Papiss Cisse, who scored thirty-seven goals in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after signing for them for £9m from German league club Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home game versus reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six scores in a six-two win - including a half-hour opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also features ex- professionals such as England and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Household Figures and International Players

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the team during pre-season this summer through close mate and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Niasse, who scored 12 goals in sixty-five Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also had his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen told me 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," said the striker.

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Everton kits - I say this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"Those people who turn up and watch are pleased and to make someone's moment if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at the club, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

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

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

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

Dreamlike' Experience

In addition to the forward's 6 scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one game as a striker.

The team are leading of the Top Tier with three wins from three and a GD of +19.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the flank for the opposition, came up against former Latics full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two World Cups for his country, in as well as featuring in more than 200 Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had all these former top-flight stars," remarked the player.

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

"Even Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has 60-odd English appearances.

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

"Our group really have not ceased talking about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the journey home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."
