222 Top Division Goals, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Appearances

Wythenshawe Vets Over 35s are located in southern Manchester and compete in the Cheshire-based Veterans League Premier Division.

Their squad list this campaign features nine ex- top-flight players, with a collective nearly 1,800 elite games.

This star-studded squad also includes over 220 top division scores and 325 international caps.

The squad include one forward, who notched 37 scores in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after signing for them for £9m from German league club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field match against reigning title holders their rivals and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two win - including a half-hour first-half hat-trick.

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

In total, the former top-flight footballers have secured 15 big trophies and moved for combined transfer fees of around £123m.

Well-Known Names and International Players

Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this summer through good friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who scored 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and still attends their home games, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a side from the city and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Blue kits - I say this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to do?

"Those spectators who come and see are pleased and to give someone's moment if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us having somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

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

"That's a bit different but then, I love running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

Unreal Feeling

Along with Cisse's six goals on his first game, Ireland has netted 8 in three appearances for the side, while Boyd scored 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Division with 3 victories from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced ex- Latics defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for his country, in as well as featuring in more than 200 Premier League games.

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

"I felt I was a little starstruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

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

"We held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

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

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of normal guys.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Take the Title'
