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

Wythenshawe Veterans Over-35s are located in southern the city and play in the Cheshire Veterans Division Top Division.

The lineup this season features 9 ex- Premier League footballers, with a total over 1,800 Premier League appearances.

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

The squad include one forward, who scored thirty-seven scores in over 100 appearances for Newcastle United after joining them for £9m from Bundesliga club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home-field match versus defending champions their rivals and scored all six goals in a 6-2 win - including a 32-minute opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also includes ex- professionals such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- top-flight footballers have secured 15 big trophies and transferred for combined transfer fees of approximately £123 million.

Household Figures and Global Players

Ireland began playing for the side during preseason this season through close friend and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other former professionals, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side match, to join in.

Ex- Senegal striker Niasse, who netted 12 goals in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut versus the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

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

"Then he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Blue shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who come and see are happy and to give someone's day if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

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

"I tell my centre-back 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to keep attacking.

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

'Surreal Feeling

Along with Cisse's six goals on his first game, Ireland has netted 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Tier with three victories from 3 and a GD of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young boy who Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over two hundred Premier League games.

"The news was spreading like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League stars," remarked the player.

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

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

"We competed well for a good twenty mins but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

"Our group literally have not ceased talking about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the journey home.

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

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Take the Title'
