What do you boost a outstanding experienced side that have claimed consecutive titles, featuring a double triumph with 30 victories from 32 games?

Sign a raft of ex- professionals who have played at the elite level of club and global football as you pursue additional trophies.

A Manchester club has an amateur vets squad with nine former Premier League footballers in their active roster.

222 Premier League Scores, 325 Global Caps

Wythenshawe Veterans Over 35s are situated in south Manchester and compete in the Cheshire Vets League Premier Tier.

Their lineup this season includes 9 ex- top-flight footballers, with a total over 1,800 Premier League matches.

This elite roster also contains over 220 top division scores and over 320 global caps.

They include one forward, who netted thirty-seven goals in over 100 games for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from German league club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

He had his first appearance for the team in their last home-field match versus defending champions Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two win - including a half-hour first-half hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's team for this campaign also includes former pros such as English and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the former top-flight footballers have claimed fifteen major honors and moved for total transfer sums of around £123 million.

Well-Known Figures and Global Players

Ireland began turning out for the side in preseason this summer through good friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all play in a weekly nine-a-side match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League games for Everton and even now attends their home games, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"My mate Stephen told me 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still enjoy the game and you feel you can still play, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those fans who turn up and watch are pleased and to make someone's moment if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting a place we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his first game at defender.

"It's a bit unusual but then, I love running and just move inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

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

Unreal Scenario

Along with Cisse's six goals on debut, Ireland has scored 8 in three appearances for the side, while George Boyd hit 5 on his debut match 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 GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, faced ex- Latics defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for his country, in addition to playing in over 200 Premier League matches.

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

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

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's got over 60 England appearances.

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

"We really haven't ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mother and brother on the way home.

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a group of normal guys.

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

'We'll Still Take the League'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate vets team, who secured the Premier Division championship last season, together with Paul Maguire.

"Our team went 1-0 up and had a
