How do you improve a outstanding experienced squad that have claimed consecutive championships, including a double triumph boasting thirty wins from 32 matches?

Bring in a group of ex- pro players that have played at the elite tier of club and global football as you pursue further trophies.

One Manchester side boasts an amateur veterans squad with nine former top-flight footballers in their active lineup.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Appearances

Wythenshawe Veterans Over-35s are situated in southern Manchester and play in the Cheshire-based Veterans League Premier Division.

The lineup this season boasts nine ex- top-flight players, with a collective 1,801 Premier League games.

The high-profile team also includes 222 top division scores and 325 global appearances.

The squad include one forward, who notched 37 goals in over 100 games for Newcastle United after joining them for £9m from German league side Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their last home match against reigning champions their rivals and scored all six goals in a six-two victory - featuring a half-hour first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also features ex- pros such as England and Anfield 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 Premier League championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

In total, the former Premier League footballers have claimed 15 big honors and transferred for total transfer fees of around £123 million.

Household Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the team during preseason this summer through close friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who netted twelve goals in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and even now goes to their home games, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and use an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"My mate Stephen told me 'join and play, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

"After that he informed me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue 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?

"Those people who come and watch are happy and to make someone's moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

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

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

Along with Cisse's 6 goals on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while Boyd hit 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Division with 3 victories from 3 and a GD of +19.

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

Figueroa has played at two 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," remarked Barrow.

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

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

"Our side competed well for a good 20 minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was tough.

"Our group literally haven't stopped talking about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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

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

We Will Still Take the League'

The manager manages the Collegiate veterans team, who won the Top Tier championship the previous campaign, together with his co-manager.

"Our team went 1-0 ahead and had a
