What can you improve a outstanding veteran team who have claimed back-to-back titles, featuring a double triumph boasting thirty victories from 32 matches?

Bring in a collection of ex- pro players that have played at the top tier of club and international football as you pursue additional honors.

A Greater Manchester team fields an amateur vets squad with nine ex- top-flight players in their active squad.

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

Wythenshawe Veterans Over-35s are based in south the city and compete in the Cheshire Vets League Top Division.

The lineup this season boasts 9 ex- Premier League footballers, with a collective 1,801 top-flight games.

This high-profile roster also boasts over 220 Premier League goals and over 320 international appearances.

They feature one forward, who scored 37 goals in over 100 games for Newcastle United after joining them for £9m from German league side Freiburg in January 2012.

He made his first appearance for the team in their last home match versus reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a 6-2 win - featuring a half-hour opening period triple.

The squad for this campaign also includes ex- pros such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the ex- top-flight footballers have won fifteen significant honors and transferred for combined transfer sums of about £123 million.

Well-Known Figures and International Stars

Ireland began playing for the side during pre-season this season through good friend and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Ex- Senegal striker Niasse, who netted twelve goals in sixty-five top-flight games for the Toffees and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and wear an Blue training kit as their strip.

"A friend Stephen said 'come and have a game, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Blue kits - I thought this is wrong for me!

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

"The spectators who turn up and see are happy and to make a day if they see us playing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

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

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has netted 8 in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd scored five on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Division with three victories from three and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

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

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League players," remarked Barrow.

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

"Even Heskey came on and he's got 60-odd England appearances.

"Our side competed well for a solid twenty mins but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

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

"The opponents were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

We Will Still Take the League'

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