The squad include Papiss Cisse, who notched 37 scores in over 100 appearances for Newcastle United after joining them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in 2012.

He made his debut for the team in their last home match versus defending champions their rivals and netted all six goals in a 6-2 victory - including a 32-minute opening period hat-trick.

The roster for this campaign also includes ex- professionals such as English and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former top-flight players have won 15 big trophies and moved for combined transfer fees of about £123 million.

Well-Known Figures and International Players

Ireland began playing for the team during preseason this summer through good mate and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who netted 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League games for the Toffees and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their uniform.

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

"Then he told me we were playing a side from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them sporting Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"If you still enjoy football and you feel you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"The fans who come and see are happy and to make someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he made his first game at full-back.

"That's a little unusual but then, I enjoy running and just go forward - 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 attacking.

"The movement is what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable."

Dreamlike' Experience

Along with the forward's 6 goals on debut, Ireland has scored eight in three games for the side, while George Boyd scored five on his first appearance and Lescott, a defender by position, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

The team are top of the Top Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, came up against former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young son who Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in as well as playing in more than 200 top-flight matches.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League players," remarked Barrow.

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

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

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

"Our group literally have not ceased talking about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the journey home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a bunch of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Take the League'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate vets side, who won the Premier Tier championship last season, along with Paul Maguire.
