How can you enhance a outstanding experienced squad who have won consecutive titles, featuring a league-cup double boasting thirty wins from 32 games?

Bring in a collection of former pro players that have performed at the elite tier of club and international football as you target further trophies.

A Greater Manchester club fields an amateur veterans squad with 9 former top-flight footballers in their active lineup.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Goals, Three Hundred Twenty-Five Global Caps

Wythenshawe Veterans Over-35s are situated in south Manchester and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans League Top Tier.

Their roster this campaign boasts nine ex- top-flight players, with a collective over 1,800 top-flight matches.

The star-studded squad also includes over 220 top division goals and over 320 international appearances.

They feature one forward, who scored 37 scores in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after signing for them for £9m from German league club SC Freiburg in January 2012.

He had his debut for Wythenshawe in their most recent home match versus defending title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a six-two victory - including a 32-minute first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's roster for this season also includes ex- pros such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former top-flight footballers have secured fifteen big honors and transferred for total transfer sums of around £123m.

Well-Known Figures and Global Players

Ireland began playing for the team in pre-season this summer through good mate and current team player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Former Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored 12 scores in sixty-five top-flight games for the Toffees and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against the opposition - who are based in the city and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I saw them wearing Everton shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"The spectators who come and watch are happy and to give someone's day if they see us competing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at the club, he made his debut at defender.

"That's a little unusual but then, I love sprinting and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he said.

"I tell my defender 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue running.

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

Unreal Experience

Along with the forward's 6 goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd scored five on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Tier with three victories from 3 and a goal difference of +19.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced former Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for his country, in as well as featuring in more than two hundred 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 little starstruck facing him to be honest.

"Also Heskey came on and he's has 60-odd English caps.

"Our side held our own for a good twenty mins but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

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

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

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

We Will Still Take the League'
