A Manchester team has an amateur veterans squad with 9 former Premier League players in their current squad.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Scores, 325 International Appearances

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

Their squad list this season includes 9 former top-flight players, with a total over 1,800 elite appearances.

This high-profile team also contains 222 Premier League scores and 325 international appearances.

They include Papiss Cisse, who notched thirty-seven goals in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after moving to them for £9m from Bundesliga side Freiburg in 2012.

He made his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home-field game against defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two victory - featuring a half-hour first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also includes ex- pros such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight footballers have claimed fifteen major honors and moved for combined transfer sums of around £123m.

Well-Known Names and Global Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the side during pre-season this summer through good friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked additional former professionals, who all play in a weekly small-sided game, to participate.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

"A friend Stephen said 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented the striker.

"After that he told me we were playing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"When you still love football and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can play, what are you going to choose?

"Those spectators who turn up and watch are happy and to make someone's day if they watch us competing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with structure of course."

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

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

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

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

Unreal Feeling

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a triple in one match as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the flank for the opposition, faced former Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at two World Cups for his country, in addition to featuring in more than 200 top-flight games.

"It was going round like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League players," said Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's got 60-odd England caps.

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was tough.

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

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a group of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Take the League'
