Sign a raft of ex- professionals who have performed at the elite tier of club football and global football as you pursue additional trophies.

A Manchester side fields an amateur veterans squad with nine ex- top-flight players in their present squad.

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

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

Their squad list this campaign features nine former Premier League footballers, with a collective nearly 1,800 top-flight appearances.

This high-profile squad also includes over 220 Premier League goals and 325 international appearances.

The squad include Papiss Cisse, who netted 37 goals in over 100 games for Newcastle United after moving to them for £9m from German league side Freiburg in 2012.

He had his first appearance for the team in their last home game versus reigning champions their rivals and scored all six scores in a 6-2 win - including a 32-minute first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also includes ex- pros such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the ex- top-flight footballers have won 15 major honors and transferred for combined transfer fees of around £123m.

Household Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this summer through good mate and current team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and even now attends their home games, also had his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

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

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

"The fans who turn up and see are pleased and to give someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can play, with structure of course."

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

"It's a little different but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go forward - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

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

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

Unreal Scenario

Along with the forward's 6 goals on his first game, Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored 5 on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one game up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Tier with 3 wins from three and a goal difference of +19.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for the opposition, came up against former Latics full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to playing in more than two hundred top-flight matches.

"It was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League players," remarked the player.

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

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

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

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

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

"Now we are eager for the second match."

We Will Still Take the Title'

The manager coaches the Collegiate veterans side, who secured the Top Division championship the previous campaign, together with Paul Maguire.

"We scored one-nil up and had a
