They feature one forward, who netted 37 scores in 117 games for Newcastle United after signing for them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his debut for Wythenshawe in their most recent home-field match versus defending champions their rivals and scored every one of the six goals in a six-two victory - including a 32-minute first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also features former pros such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- top-flight players have won 15 significant honors and transferred for total transfer fees of around £123 million.

Well-Known Names and Global Stars

Ireland began turning out for the side in preseason this summer through good friend and present Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked other former professionals, who all play in a weekly small-sided game, to participate.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve goals in 65 top-flight matches 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 warm-up gear as their strip.

"My friend Stephen Ireland said 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

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

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

"The people who come and watch are pleased and to make a moment if they see us competing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the joy of us having a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the bench strength at the club, Niasse made his first game at defender.

"It's a bit different but then, I love running and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

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

'Surreal Experience

Along with the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has scored eight in three games for the side, while Boyd hit 5 on his debut match and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

The team are leading of the Top Tier with three victories from 3 and a goal difference of +19.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for the opposition, faced former Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over two hundred Premier League matches.

"It was going round like wildfire they had all these former top-flight players," said the player.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's got over 60 England caps.

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

"We literally have not 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 facing a group of normal guys.

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

'We'll Still Win the Title'
