Wythenshawe's roster for this season also features ex- professionals such as England and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic full-back Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former Premier League footballers have claimed fifteen significant trophies and moved for total transfer fees of approximately £123 million.

Household Names and International Stars

Ireland began playing for the side during pre-season this season through good friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then invited additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for Everton and even now goes to their home games, also made his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen told me 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," commented the striker.

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

"When you still enjoy football and you know 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 give a moment if they watch us competing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the joy of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, he had his debut at full-back.

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

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

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

Unreal Feeling

Along with Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in 3 games for the side, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one match as a striker.

The team are leading of the Premier Division with three wins from three and a GD of +19.

One opponent, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, faced former Wigan full-back Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in over two hundred Premier League games.

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

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

"Even Heskey got 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 tough.

"We really have not stopped chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and sibling on the way home.

"They were all really nice, shaking our hands after the match - it was like facing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

'We'll Still Take the Title'
