Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field match against defending title holders their rivals and netted every one of the six goals in a 6-2 victory - including a 32-minute opening period hat-trick.

Collectively, the former Premier League players have claimed 15 major trophies and transferred for total transfer sums of approximately £123 million.

Well-Known Names and Global Players

Stephen Ireland began playing for the team during pre-season this summer through close mate and present Wythenshawe 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 participate.

Ex- Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight games for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also had his debut versus the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

"A friend Stephen told me 'come and play, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"Then he informed me we were playing a team from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"The spectators who turn up and watch are happy and to give someone's moment if they see us playing there and to ask us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us having somewhere we can play, with structure of course."

So great is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at full-back.

"It's a bit unusual but then, I love sprinting and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

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

"That movement is what I'm looking for. It's enjoyable."

Unreal Feeling

Along with the forward's 6 goals on his first game, Ireland has scored 8 in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd hit 5 on his first match and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

The team are top of the Premier Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

One opponent, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced ex- Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 global tournaments for his country, in addition to featuring in more than 200 Premier League games.

"It was going round like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League stars," said Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] came on and he's has over 60 English caps.

"Our side held our own for a solid twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

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

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a group of normal guys.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Win the League'
