What do you boost a outstanding veteran squad who have won back-to-back titles, featuring a double triumph boasting 30 victories from thirty-two games?

Bring in a raft of ex- pro players who have played at the highest tier of club football and international football as you target additional silverware.

One Greater Manchester side fields an amateur veterans team with 9 ex- Premier League footballers in their active roster.

222 Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Appearances

The team Vets Over-35s are located in south the city and compete in the Cheshire-based Vets League Top Tier.

The squad list this season includes nine former Premier League footballers, with a combined over 1,800 elite matches.

This high-profile squad also boasts 222 Premier League scores and 325 global appearances.

They feature one forward, who scored 37 scores in over 100 games for his former club after moving to them for £9m from German league side Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home match against reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two victory - featuring a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

The team for this season also includes former pros such as England and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- Premier League footballers have claimed fifteen big trophies and transferred for combined transfer fees of around £123 million.

Household Figures and Global Stars

Ireland started playing for the team in pre-season this season through close mate and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"My mate Stephen said 'join and play, it's enjoyable'," commented the striker.

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

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

"The spectators who turn up and watch are pleased and to give a day if they see us playing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us having a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, he made his first game at full-back.

"It's a little different but then, I love running and just move inside - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

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

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

Unreal Feeling

Along with Cisse's six scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in three appearances for the side, while Boyd scored 5 on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Tier with three victories from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

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

"The news was going round like wildfire they had all these former top-flight stars," remarked the player.

"I think I was a bit starstruck playing against him to be honest.

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has over 60 English appearances.

"Our side competed well for a solid 20 mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was tough.

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

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a group of normal guys.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

'We'll Still Win the League'
