The squad for this campaign also features former professionals such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley winger George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- top-flight players have claimed fifteen significant trophies and transferred for combined transfer sums of around £123 million.

Famous Figures and Global Stars

Ireland started playing for the team during pre-season this summer through good friend and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited additional ex-pros, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who netted 12 goals in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen told me 'join and play, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

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

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

"Those spectators who come and watch are happy and to give someone's moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at the club, he made his first game at full-back.

"It's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to keep running.

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

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to Cisse's 6 goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in 3 appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored five on his debut match and Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

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

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his nine-year-old son who Heskey was.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in over 200 Premier League games.

"The news was spreading like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," said Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] got on and he's got over 60 English caps.

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

"Our group literally haven't ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the journey home.

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

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

We Will Still Take the Title'
