One Manchester side fields an amateur vets team with nine former top-flight players in their active squad.

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

The team Vets Over-35s are located in southern the city and play in the Cheshire Veterans League Top Division.

Their lineup this season includes 9 former Premier League players, with a total nearly 1,800 elite games.

This star-studded squad also boasts 222 top division goals and 325 global caps.

They feature one forward, who scored 37 scores in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after signing for them for £9m from German league side SC Freiburg in January 2012.

He made his first appearance for the team in their last home-field game versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six goals in a 6-2 win - including a half-hour opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this season also includes former pros such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight footballers have secured fifteen significant honors and moved for combined transfer sums of approximately £123 million.

Household Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this summer through good mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked other ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Ex- Senegal forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and use an Blue warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A mate Stephen told me 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"After that he told me we were playing a side from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Everton shirts - I say this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy football and you know you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who come and see are pleased and to give someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the squad depth at the club, Niasse had his debut at full-back.

"It's a little different but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

Unreal Scenario

In addition to the forward's six goals on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit five on his first match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a triple in one match up front.

The team are top of the Top Division with three victories from three and a goal difference of +19.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for the opposition, came up against former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in over two hundred top-flight games.

"It was spreading like a rumor they had these former top-flight stars," remarked Barrow.

"I felt I was a little starstruck playing against him to be honest.

"Even Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has 60-odd England caps.

"Our side held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was tough.

"We literally haven't stopped talking about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the way home.

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

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

We Will Still Take the Title'

The manager coaches the opposition vets team, who secured the Premier Tier championship last season, together with Paul Maguire.
