A Greater Manchester team boasts an amateur veterans squad with nine former top-flight footballers in their current lineup.

222 Top Division Goals, 325 International Appearances

The team Vets Over 35s are situated in south Manchester and compete in the Cheshire Veterans League Premier Tier.

Their lineup this season includes nine former Premier League footballers, with a collective nearly 1,800 top-flight appearances.

The elite team also includes 222 top division scores and 325 international appearances.

They feature Papiss Cisse, who netted 37 scores in over 100 appearances for his former club after joining them for £9m from German league club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their most recent home-field match against defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six scores in a 6-2 victory - featuring a half-hour opening period triple.

The squad for this season also features former pros such as English and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- Premier League footballers have won 15 big honors and moved for total transfer fees of about £123m.

Household Names and International Players

Ireland started turning out for the side during pre-season this season through close friend and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited additional ex-pros, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve scores in 65 Premier League matches for Everton and still goes to their home games, also made his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen said 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"If you still love football and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"Those people who come and watch are pleased and to give a moment if they watch us playing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us getting a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at the club, Niasse had his first game at full-back.

"That's a bit different but then, I love sprinting and just move inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

'Surreal Scenario

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

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

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

Figueroa has played at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in as well as playing in more than 200 Premier League games.

"It was going round like a rumor they had all these former top-flight players," said the player.

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

"Even Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd England caps.

"Our side competed well for a good 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

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

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

"Now we can't wait for the second match."

We Will Still Take the Title'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate veterans team, who secured the Top Tier title last season, along with his co-manager.

"Our team went 1-0 ahead and had a
