The team Veterans Over 35s are situated in south Manchester and play in the Cheshire Vets Division Top Division.

This star-studded roster also boasts 222 top division goals and over 320 international appearances.

The squad feature one forward, who scored 37 scores in over 100 appearances for his former club after moving to them for nine million pounds from German league club Freiburg in January 2012.

He made his debut for the team in their most recent home game against reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six scores in a six-two win - featuring a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

The squad for this campaign also includes ex- professionals such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the ex- Premier League footballers have claimed fifteen major honors and transferred for total transfer fees of about £123 million.

Well-Known Names and International Players

Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this season through close friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then invited other ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegal forward Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in the city and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their uniform.

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

"Then he told me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Everton kits - I say this is strange 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?

"Those spectators who come and see are happy and to make a day if they watch us competing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

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

"It's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just move 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.

"The running is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

Unreal Scenario

Along with the forward's six goals on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for the side, while Boyd scored 5 on his first appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a GD of +19.

One opponent, 38, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in more than two hundred top-flight games.

"It was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," remarked Barrow.

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

"Also Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd England caps.

"We competed well 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 brother on the way home.

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of regular fellas.

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

'We'll Still Take the League'
