One Greater Manchester side fields an non-professional vets team with 9 former Premier League players in their active roster.

222 Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Appearances

The team Vets Over-35s are based in south the city and compete in the Cheshire Veterans Division Top Division.

The roster this season includes nine ex- top-flight players, with a total nearly 1,800 Premier League appearances.

The high-profile roster also boasts over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 global appearances.

The squad include one forward, who scored thirty-seven scores in 117 games for his former club after moving to them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their most recent home-field game versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six scores in a six-two victory - including a 32-minute first-half triple.

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

Together, the former Premier League players have won 15 major honors and transferred for total transfer fees of approximately £123 million.

Household Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the team during pre-season this summer through close friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in sixty-five top-flight games for the Toffees and even now goes to their home games, also had his debut versus the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen told me 'come and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

"Then he told me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue kits - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"Those spectators who come and see are pleased and to make a day if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the joy of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his first game at defender.

"That's a little unusual but then, I love running and just move inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I warn my defender 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

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

Unreal Feeling

Along with the forward's six scores on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

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

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against ex- Wigan defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two global tournaments for his country, in addition to playing in over 200 top-flight matches.

"It was going round like a rumor they had all these former top-flight players," remarked Barrow.

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

"Even Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd England appearances.

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

"We really haven't stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the journey home.

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a bunch of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the second match."

We Will Still Take the Title'

The manager coaches the Collegiate vets side, who secured the Premier Tier title the previous campaign, together with his co-manager.

"We scored one-nil ahead and had a
