They feature one forward, who notched thirty-seven goals in over 100 appearances for his former club after signing for them for £9m from German league side SC Freiburg in January 2012.

He had his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home match versus reigning champions their rivals and netted all six goals in a 6-2 win - including a 32-minute opening period triple.

In total, the ex- Premier League players have claimed 15 big trophies and moved for combined transfer sums of approximately £123 million.

Famous Figures and International Stars

Ireland began playing for the side during preseason this summer through close friend and current team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then asked other former professionals, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to join in.

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted 12 goals in sixty-five top-flight games for Everton and even now goes to their home games, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My mate Stephen told me 'join and play, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

"Then he told me we were facing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them wearing Everton kits - I thought this is strange for me!

"When you still love the game and you feel you can still play, anywhere you can play, what are you going to choose?

"Those fans who turn up and watch are pleased and to make someone's day if they see us playing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the strength in depth at Wythenshawe, he made his first game at defender.

"That's a bit different but then, I love running and just go 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 attacking.

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

'Surreal Experience

Along with the forward's six scores on debut, Ireland has netted eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit five on his debut match and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Premier Division with three wins from 3 and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 World Cups for his country, in addition to playing in more than two hundred top-flight matches.

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

"I think I was a little starstruck playing against him to be honest.

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

"We competed well for a solid 20 mins but then we had a player sent off and it was tough.

"Our group literally haven't ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mother and brother on the way home.

"The opponents were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a bunch of normal guys.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."

We Will Still Win the League'
