The team Veterans Over 35s are situated in south the city and play in the Cheshire-based Vets League Top Tier.

Their squad list this campaign boasts 9 ex- top-flight footballers, with a combined nearly 1,800 elite appearances.

This elite squad also boasts over 220 Premier League goals and 325 global caps.

Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their last home-field match versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a six-two victory - including a half-hour first-half triple.

The roster for this campaign also includes ex- professionals such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight footballers have claimed 15 significant honors and moved for total transfer fees of around £123m.

Well-Known Figures and Global Stars

Ireland started playing for the team in pre-season this season through close friend and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then invited other ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side game, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen told me 'come and play, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"After that he told me we were playing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still love football and you feel you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"The spectators who come and watch are happy and to give someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the joy of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the strength in depth at the club, he had his debut at full-back.

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

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

"That running is what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable."

Unreal Feeling

In addition to the forward's 6 scores on debut, Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, faced former Latics full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Heskey was.

He has appeared at two global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in over 200 Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had all these former top-flight stars," said Barrow.

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

"Even Heskey got on and he's got over 60 English caps.

"We held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"Our group literally haven't ceased chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the way home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.

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

We Will Still Take the League'
