The team Veterans Over-35s are located in southern the city and play in the Cheshire-based Vets Division Premier Tier.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their most recent home match against defending champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six scores in a 6-2 win - featuring a half-hour opening period triple.

The team for this campaign also features former professionals such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- Premier League footballers have won 15 significant trophies and moved for combined transfer fees of about £123m.

Household Names and International Players

Stephen Ireland began playing for the team in pre-season this summer through close mate and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side game, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League games for Everton and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Blue warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Blue kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still enjoy football and you feel you can still do it, wherever you can play, what are you going to do?

"Those people who turn up and watch are pleased and to make a day if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at the club, he made his first game at defender.

"That's a little unusual but then, I enjoy running and just move inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

"That movement is what I'm after. It's enjoyable."

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored 5 on his first match and Lescott, a defender by position, scored a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

The team are top of the Premier Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a GD of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, faced former Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at two global tournaments for his country, in addition to playing in more than 200 Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these former top-flight players," said Barrow.

"I felt I was a bit awestruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has over 60 England caps.

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

"We really have not stopped talking about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the journey home.

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a bunch of normal fellas.

"Now we can't wait for the second match."

We Will Still Win the Title'
