What do you enhance a outstanding experienced side who have claimed consecutive titles, including a double triumph boasting thirty victories from thirty-two matches?

Recruit a raft of ex- pro players who have competed at the highest level of club football and international soccer as you pursue more silverware.

A Greater Manchester team has an non-professional veterans team with 9 former top-flight footballers in their present squad.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Goals, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Appearances

The team Veterans Over-35s are located in southern Manchester and compete in the Cheshire-based Veterans Division Top Tier.

Their squad list this campaign boasts nine ex- top-flight players, with a combined nearly 1,800 Premier League games.

The star-studded roster also includes over 220 Premier League scores and over 320 global caps.

The squad feature Papiss Cisse, who notched thirty-seven scores in over 100 appearances for his former club after joining them for £9m from German league club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his debut for Wythenshawe in their most recent home-field match against defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six goals in a six-two victory - featuring a 32-minute first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also includes former pros such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the ex- top-flight players have secured fifteen significant trophies and moved for total transfer sums of around £123m.

Household Names and International Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the side during preseason this season through close friend and current team player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided game, to join in.

Ex- Senegal striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also had his debut against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and have a game, it's enjoyable'," said Niasse.

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

"If you still enjoy the game and you know you can still play, wherever you can play, what are you going to do?

"The spectators who come and watch are pleased and to make a day if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the squad depth at the club, Niasse made his debut at defender.

"That's a bit different but then, I love sprinting and just move inside - I'm not staying back that much," he said.

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

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

'Surreal Experience

In addition to Cisse's 6 goals on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored five on his debut appearance and Lescott, a defender by position, scored a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

The team are leading of the Premier Division with 3 wins from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for the opposition, came up against former Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Heskey was.

He has played at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to playing in more than two hundred top-flight matches.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had all these former top-flight stars," remarked Barrow.

"I think I was a little awestruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

"Also Heskey got on and he's has 60-odd English appearances.

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

"We literally have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the journey home.

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

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

We Will Still Win the Title'
