A Greater Manchester club has an non-professional vets team with 9 former top-flight players in their active roster.

222 Premier League Goals, 325 Global Appearances

The team Vets Over-35s are based in southern Manchester and compete in the Cheshire-based Veterans League Premier Division.

Their lineup this season boasts nine ex- Premier League footballers, with a collective over 1,800 elite games.

The elite squad also includes over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 international appearances.

The squad include one forward, who netted 37 scores in over 100 appearances for Newcastle United after moving to them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field game against defending champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six scores in a six-two win - featuring a half-hour first-half triple.

Collectively, the ex- top-flight footballers have claimed fifteen big trophies and moved for total transfer fees of about £123m.

Famous Names and International Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the side during preseason this summer through good friend and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked additional ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Ex- Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in sixty-five Premier League matches for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented the striker.

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Blue kits - I say this is wrong for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those spectators who turn up and watch are pleased and to make a day if they see us competing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at defender.

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

Along with the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored five on his first appearance and Lescott, a defender by position, notched a triple in one match up front.

The team are leading of the Premier Tier with three victories from three and a goal difference of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Wigan defender 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 over two hundred Premier League games.

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

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

"Also Heskey got on and he's has over 60 England appearances.

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty mins but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"We literally have not stopped chatting about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the way home.

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.

"Now we are eager for the second match."

We Will Still Take the Title'
