Collectively, the ex- Premier League players have secured 15 significant honors and transferred for total transfer sums of about £123m.

Household Figures and International Stars

Ireland started turning out for the side during preseason this summer through good mate and current Wythenshawe teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland player then asked other ex-pros, who all play in a midweek small-sided match, to participate.

Former Senegal striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and still goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus the opposition - who are based in Liverpool and use an Blue training kit as their strip.

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

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I saw them sporting Everton shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

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

"Those people who come and see are pleased and to make a moment if they see us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us getting a place we can play, with organisation of course."

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

"That's a little unusual but then, I enjoy running and just go forward - 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 continue running.

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

'Surreal Feeling

Along with the forward's six scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in 3 games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit 5 on his debut appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a hat-trick in one match up front.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Division with three wins from three and a goal difference of +19.

Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

Figueroa has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in as well as playing in over two hundred top-flight matches.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," remarked Barrow.

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

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

"We held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

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

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

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

We Will Still Take the Title'
