Two Hundred Twenty-Two Top Division Goals, 325 International Caps

Wythenshawe Vets Over 35s are situated in south the city and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans League Top Division.

Their lineup this season boasts 9 ex- Premier League footballers, with a combined 1,801 elite matches.

The star-studded squad also boasts 222 top division scores and over 320 global appearances.

They feature one forward, who scored thirty-seven scores in over 100 appearances for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from German league side SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for the team in their last home-field match versus defending title holders their rivals and netted all six goals in a 6-2 win - featuring a half-hour opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also includes former pros such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former Premier League footballers have won 15 major honors and transferred for combined transfer sums of approximately £123 million.

Household Figures and International Players

Ireland started playing for the team in pre-season this summer through close mate and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then invited additional ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Niasse, who scored twelve goals in sixty-five Premier League games for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are located in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My friend Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's enjoyable'," said Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Blue kits - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"The spectators who turn up and see are pleased and to make a moment if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the joy of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, he made his first game at full-back.

"That's a bit different but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not staying back that much," he said.

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

"The running is what I'm looking for. It's good fun."

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in three appearances for the side, while George Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a triple in one match up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Tier with three victories from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced ex- Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

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

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

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

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

"Our side competed well for a good 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"We literally have not stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the journey home.

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of normal guys.

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

'We'll Still Take the League'

Andy Kirby coaches the opposition vets side, who won the Top Division title the previous campaign, along with Paul Maguire.
