Together, the ex- Premier League footballers have won fifteen major honors and moved for combined transfer fees of around £123 million.

Famous Names and Global Stars

Ireland began playing for the team in preseason this summer through good mate and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked additional former professionals, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side match, to participate.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his debut versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and wear an Everton warm-up gear as their uniform.

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

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

"When you still enjoy the game and you know you can still do it, anywhere you can play, what are you going to do?

"The people who turn up and see are pleased and to make a day if they watch us playing there and to pose us questions - it's more like the pleasure of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his debut at full-back.

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

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

"That running is what I'm seeking. It's enjoyable."

Dreamlike' Scenario

Along with the forward's six goals on his first game, Ireland has netted eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored 5 on his first appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a hat-trick in one match as a striker.

Wythenshawe are leading of the Top Tier with 3 wins from 3 and a GD of plus nineteen.

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the flank for Collegiate OB, faced ex- Wigan full-back Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his young boy who Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 global tournaments for his country, in as well as playing in more than 200 Premier League matches.

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

"I felt I was a bit starstruck facing him to be honest.

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

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

"We literally haven't stopped talking about it - I was calling my mother and sibling on the way home.

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

"Now we are eager for the return fixture."

'We'll Still Win the League'
