In total, the former Premier League players have secured 15 significant trophies and transferred for combined transfer fees of about £123 million.

Household Names and Global Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the side during pre-season this summer through close friend and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then asked additional ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for Everton and still attends their home games, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

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

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

"The people who turn up and watch are pleased and to give a moment if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he made his first game at defender.

"It's a little unusual but then, I love running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"I warn my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue running.

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

'Surreal Experience

Along with Cisse's 6 goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a hat-trick in one game up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Division with three wins from three and a goal difference of +19.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the wing for the opposition, faced former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

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

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

"Also Heskey got on and he's has over 60 English caps.

"Our side held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a man dismissed and it was tough.

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

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

"Now we are eager for the return match."

'We'll Still Win the League'
