How do you boost a stellar experienced side who have claimed consecutive titles, including a league-cup double boasting 30 wins from 32 games?

Sign a raft of ex- professionals that have played at the elite level of club and global soccer as you target further silverware.

One Manchester club has an non-professional veterans squad with 9 former Premier League players in their current lineup.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Top Division Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Caps

The team Vets Over-35s are located in southern the city and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans Division Top Division.

Their roster this season includes nine former Premier League players, with a combined over 1,800 Premier League games.

The star-studded team also includes over 220 Premier League scores and over 320 global appearances.

They include Papiss Cisse, who scored thirty-seven goals in over 100 games for Newcastle United after moving to them for nine million pounds from German league side Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for the team in their last home match against defending title holders their rivals and scored all six goals in a 6-2 victory - including a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

The team for this season also features former professionals such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former top-flight footballers have claimed fifteen significant trophies and moved for total transfer fees of approximately £123 million.

Well-Known Figures and International Players

Ireland started playing for the team in pre-season this season through close mate and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked additional ex-pros, who all play in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Ex- Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve scores in 65 Premier League matches for Everton and even now goes to their home games, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue training kit as their strip.

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

"After that he told me we were facing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them wearing Blue kits - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"Those spectators who turn up and see are happy and to make a moment if they see us competing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the strength in depth at the club, Niasse had his first game at defender.

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

"I warn my centre-back 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

"That running is what I'm seeking. It's good fun."

Unreal Scenario

Along with the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for the side, while Boyd scored five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, notched a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

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

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for the opposition, faced ex- Latics full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as featuring in more than 200 Premier League games.

"It was spreading like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League players," said Barrow.

"I think I was a bit starstruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has 60-odd English caps.

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

"We literally haven't ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mum and sibling on the way home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

'We'll Still Win the League'
