Together, the ex- top-flight footballers have won 15 major trophies and moved for total transfer fees of about £123m.

Well-Known Figures and International Stars

Stephen Ireland began turning out for the side in pre-season this season through close friend and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other former professionals, who all compete in a midweek nine-a-side game, to participate.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in sixty-five top-flight matches for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My mate Stephen said 'join and have a game, it's enjoyable'," said the striker.

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

"If you still love the game and you know you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"Those spectators who turn up and see are happy and to give a day if they watch us playing there and to ask us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his first game at full-back.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not defending that much," he added.

"I tell my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

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

Unreal Experience

Along with the forward's 6 goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in 3 games for the side, while George Boyd scored 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a triple in one game as a striker.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the flank for the opposition, faced former Wigan defender Figueroa on the weekend - and had to tell his young son who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as featuring in over 200 Premier League matches.

"The news was going round like wildfire they had all these former top-flight players," remarked Barrow.

"I think I was a little awestruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

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

"We held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"We really have not ceased chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and brother on the journey home.

"The opponents were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game - it was like facing a group of regular guys.

"Now we can't wait for the return fixture."

We Will Still Win the Title'
