Their roster this season includes nine ex- top-flight players, with a collective nearly 1,800 top-flight matches.

They feature one forward, who notched 37 scores in over 100 appearances for Newcastle United after joining them for nine million pounds from German league side SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his debut for Wythenshawe in their most recent home game versus reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six scores in a 6-2 win - featuring a 32-minute opening period triple.

The roster for this campaign also features former pros such as England and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Famous Figures and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland started playing for the side in pre-season this season through close friend and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then invited other ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side game, to participate.

Former Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in sixty-five Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

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

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

"The people who come and see are pleased and to give a day if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the joy of us having somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

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

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

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

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

Dreamlike' Feeling

In addition to Cisse's six scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit 5 on his first match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in over 200 Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League players," said the player.

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

"Even Heskey came on and he's has over 60 England caps.

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

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

"The opponents 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 fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
