The high-profile squad also includes 222 Premier League goals and 325 international caps.

They include one forward, who scored thirty-seven goals in 117 games for Newcastle United after signing for them for £9m from Bundesliga club SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse had his debut for the team in their most recent home match against reigning champions their rivals and netted all six goals in a six-two victory - featuring a half-hour first-half hat-trick.

The roster for this season also includes ex- professionals such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley winger George Boyd, Everton forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- top-flight players have won 15 significant honors and moved for combined transfer sums of around £123m.

Household Figures and Global Players

Ireland began playing for the side during preseason this summer through close mate and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then invited other former professionals, who all compete in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese forward Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 Premier League matches for Everton and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut against Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and wear an Blue training kit as their uniform.

"My mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and have a game, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

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

"When you still enjoy football and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to do?

"The fans who come and see are pleased and to give a moment if they watch us playing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he had his debut at defender.

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

"I warn my centre-back 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to keep attacking.

"The movement is what I'm after. It's good fun."

'Surreal Feeling

In addition to the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit 5 on his first match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

The team are top of the Top Tier with three wins from three and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against former Latics full-back Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his nine-year-old boy who Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in over 200 top-flight matches.

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

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

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

"Our side competed well for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

"We really have not ceased talking about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the way home.

"The opponents 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 match."

We Will Still Take the Title'
