A Manchester side fields an non-professional vets squad with nine former top-flight players in their current squad.

222 Top Division Goals, 325 International Appearances

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

Their squad list this season features nine ex- top-flight footballers, with a total nearly 1,800 top-flight games.

The high-profile team also contains over 220 Premier League scores and over 320 international caps.

The squad include one forward, who scored thirty-seven scores in over 100 games for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from German league club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field game against defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two win - including a half-hour first-half triple.

The team for this season also includes ex- professionals such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- Premier League players have won 15 big honors and moved for combined transfer fees of around £123m.

Well-Known Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the side during preseason this season through close mate and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked additional ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side game, to participate.

Former Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight games for the Toffees and even now goes to their home games, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"A friend Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's good fun'," said the striker.

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

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

"The spectators who turn up and watch are pleased and to make a day 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 structure of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, he made his debut at full-back.

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

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

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

'Surreal Feeling

Along with Cisse's 6 goals on debut, Ireland has scored eight in 3 appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, scored a triple in one match as a striker.

The team are leading of the Premier Tier with three victories from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 World Cups for his country, in as well as featuring in over two hundred Premier League games.

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

"I felt I was a little awestruck playing against him to be honest.

"Also Heskey got on and he's got over 60 English appearances.

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

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

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a bunch of normal guys.

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

'We'll Still Win the League'
