Sign a group of ex- pro players who have played at the elite tier of club football and international soccer as you aim for further honors.

A Manchester side has an non-professional veterans team with 9 ex- Premier League footballers in their current squad.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Caps

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

Their lineup this campaign boasts nine ex- Premier League players, with a combined 1,801 top-flight appearances.

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

The squad include one forward, who netted 37 goals in 117 games for his former club after joining them for £9m from Bundesliga side Freiburg in 2012.

He had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home match versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six scores in a six-two win - including a 32-minute opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also includes ex- professionals such as English and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the former top-flight players have won fifteen big honors and moved for total transfer fees of about £123 million.

Well-Known Figures and International Players

Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this summer through good mate and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other former professionals, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League games for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut against Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

"After that he told me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

"If you still love the game and you feel you can still play, wherever you can play, what are you going to choose?

"The spectators who come and watch are happy and to make a day if they watch us competing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us having a place we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his debut at full-back.

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

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

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

Unreal Experience

Along with Cisse's six goals on his first game, Ireland has netted 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a hat-trick in one game up front.

Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Division with 3 wins from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Wigan full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young boy who Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over two hundred top-flight games.

"It was going round like wildfire they had these former top-flight players," said Barrow.

"I felt I was a little awestruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

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

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

"Our group really haven't stopped talking about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the journey home.

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

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

'We'll Still Win the Title'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate veterans team, who won the Premier Tier championship the previous campaign, together with Paul Maguire.

"Our team went 1-0 up and had a
