222 Premier League Goals, 325 International Caps

Wythenshawe Veterans Over 35s are based in south Manchester and play in the Cheshire Veterans League Top Division.

Their lineup this season features 9 former Premier League players, with a combined nearly 1,800 top-flight games.

The elite roster also contains 222 top division goals and over 320 global caps.

The squad include one forward, who netted thirty-seven goals in 117 games for his former club after signing for them for £9m from Bundesliga side Freiburg in January 2012.

He had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their most recent home-field game against defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six scores in a six-two win - featuring a half-hour first-half hat-trick.

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

In total, the former Premier League players have claimed fifteen major trophies and transferred for total transfer fees of about £123 million.

Well-Known Names and International Players

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side during preseason this season through close mate and current Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Niasse, who scored 12 goals in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen told me 'come and have a game, 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 Blue shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy football and you know you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those fans who come 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 getting a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his debut at defender.

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

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

"The movement is what I'm looking for. It's good fun."

Unreal Experience

Along with Cisse's 6 scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a hat-trick in one game up front.

The team are top of the Premier Tier with 3 victories from three and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

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

He has appeared at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League players," remarked the player.

"I felt I was a bit starstruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

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

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"Our group really have not ceased chatting about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a bunch of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

'We'll Still Win the Title'
