The squad include Papiss Cisse, who netted thirty-seven scores in 117 appearances for his former club after moving to them for £9m from Bundesliga club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

He made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field game versus reigning champions their rivals and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two win - featuring a 32-minute opening period triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also features former professionals such as English and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the ex- top-flight players have claimed fifteen significant trophies and transferred for combined transfer fees of about £123 million.

Household Figures and Global Stars

Ireland began playing for the team during preseason this season through close friend and current team player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked other former professionals, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side game, to join in.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 Premier League games for the Toffees and still goes to their home games, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their uniform.

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

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them sporting Blue kits - I say this is wrong for me!

"If you still love football and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"Those fans who come and watch are happy and to give a moment if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the joy of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at full-back.

"That's a little different but then, I love running and just go forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

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

'Surreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's six goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Division with 3 victories from three and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan full-back 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 addition to featuring in over two hundred Premier League matches.

"It was going round like a rumor they had all these former top-flight stars," said the player.

"I felt I was a little starstruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

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

"We competed well for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

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

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a bunch of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

We Will Still Take the Title'
