The team Veterans Over-35s are situated in southern Manchester and play in the Cheshire Vets League Premier Tier.

The roster this campaign boasts 9 ex- Premier League footballers, with a collective over 1,800 top-flight appearances.

This high-profile squad also includes over 220 Premier League scores and 325 global caps.

They feature one forward, who notched thirty-seven scores in over 100 games for Newcastle United after joining them for nine million pounds from German league club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field game versus defending title holders their rivals and netted every one of the six scores in a 6-2 win - including a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

In total, the former top-flight players have won 15 big honors and transferred for total transfer fees of approximately £123m.

Well-Known Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the team in preseason this season through close mate and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegal forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in sixty-five top-flight games for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

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

"Then he informed me we were playing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Blue shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

"If you still love football and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

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

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at full-back.

"It's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

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

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has netted eight in 3 games for the side, while Boyd hit 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Tier with three wins from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against former Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for his country, in addition to playing in more than 200 Premier League games.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had these ex-Premier League players," remarked Barrow.

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

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

"Our side held our own for a good 20 mins but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

"Our group really haven't stopped talking about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the journey home.

"The opponents were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
