What can you enhance a stellar experienced squad that have claimed back-to-back championships, featuring a double triumph with 30 victories from thirty-two games?

Bring in a group of ex- pro players that have competed at the highest level of club football and global football as you aim for further trophies.

A Manchester side fields an amateur vets squad with 9 former Premier League players in their active lineup.

222 Top Division Goals, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Caps

The team Vets Over-35s are located in south the city and compete in the Cheshire-based Vets Division Top Division.

The squad list this campaign features nine former Premier League players, with a combined 1,801 top-flight matches.

This star-studded squad also contains 222 top division goals and 325 global appearances.

They include one forward, who notched thirty-seven goals in 117 games for his former club after joining them for £9m from German league club SC Freiburg in 2012.

He made his first appearance for the team in their last home game versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six scores in a six-two victory - featuring a half-hour opening period triple.

The roster for this season also features former pros such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former top-flight players have secured fifteen significant honors and moved for total transfer sums of around £123 million.

Household Names and International Players

Stephen Ireland began playing for the side in preseason this season through good friend and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve goals in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and still attends their home games, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen told me 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," commented Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton shirts - I thought this is strange for me!

"If you still love football and you know you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"Those fans who come and see are happy and to give a day if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at defender.

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's six scores on his first game, Ireland has netted eight in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one match up front.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Division with three victories from three and a GD of +19.

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Wigan defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in as well as playing in over 200 top-flight games.

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

"I think I was a bit awestruck facing him to be honest.

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

"Our side competed well for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"We really haven't ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the way home.

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

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

'We'll Still Win the Title'

Andy Kirby coaches the opposition vets side, who secured the Premier Tier title the previous campaign, along with Paul Maguire.

"Our team went one-nil up and had a
