Collectively, the ex- Premier League players have claimed 15 significant trophies and moved for combined transfer sums of about £123 million.

Household Names and Global Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the team in pre-season this season through close friend and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted 12 scores in 65 Premier League games for Everton and even now attends their home games, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"A friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," commented the striker.

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

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

"The people who turn up and watch are pleased and to make someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he made his first game at defender.

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

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

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

'Surreal Scenario

Along with Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a triple in one game up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Tier with three wins from three and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced ex- Latics defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in more than 200 Premier League matches.

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

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

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

"Our side held our own for a good 20 minutes but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

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

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.

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

We Will Still Win the League'
