222 Premier League Goals, 325 Global Appearances

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

The squad list this campaign features nine ex- Premier League footballers, with a combined over 1,800 Premier League games.

This elite squad also contains 222 Premier League goals and 325 global appearances.

They include Papiss Cisse, who netted 37 scores in over 100 games for Newcastle United after joining them for £9m from German league club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home match against defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six goals in a six-two win - including a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.

The squad for this campaign also includes former pros such as English and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight footballers have secured 15 significant trophies and transferred for total transfer fees of about £123m.

Famous Figures and International Players

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side during pre-season this summer through good friend and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited additional former professionals, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

"Then he told me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"Those fans who turn up and see are pleased and to make a moment if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about 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 debut at full-back.

"It's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

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

'Surreal Experience

Along with the forward's six goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in three appearances for the side, while George Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a triple in one match as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against former Latics full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Heskey was.

He has played at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over 200 top-flight matches.

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

"I think I was a little awestruck facing him to be honest.

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

"We competed well for a good 20 minutes but then we had a man dismissed and it was tough.

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

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the second match."
