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

Well-Known Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland started playing for the team in preseason this season through good mate and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side game, to participate.

Former Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted 12 goals in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and still goes to their home games, also had his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Blue training kit as their strip.

"My mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's enjoyable'," said Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were playing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them sporting Blue kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

"If you still love the game and you know you can still do it, wherever you can kick a ball, what are you going to do?

"Those fans who turn up and see are pleased and to give a day if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at the club, Niasse had his debut at full-back.

"It's a little different but then, I enjoy running and just move 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 keep attacking.

"The running is what I'm looking for. It's good fun."

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to Cisse's six goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit 5 on his debut match and Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a hat-trick in one game up front.

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

One opponent, 38, who plays on the wing for the opposition, came up against former Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to playing in over two hundred Premier League matches.

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

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

"Also Heskey got on and he's got over 60 England caps.

"We competed well for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

"We really have not stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mother and brother on the journey home.

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

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

'We'll Still Take the League'
