Collectively, the ex- Premier League players have won 15 significant honors and moved for total transfer fees of approximately £123 million.

Well-Known Figures and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland started turning out for the side during preseason this season through good friend and present Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then asked additional ex-pros, who all compete in a midweek small-sided match, to join in.

Ex- Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in sixty-five top-flight matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut versus the opposition - who are located in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's enjoyable'," commented Niasse.

"Then he told me we were playing a team from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them sporting Blue shirts - I thought this is wrong for me!

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

"Those fans who come and see are happy and to make someone's day if they watch us competing there and to ask us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us having a place we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, he had his first game at full-back.

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

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

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

Unreal Scenario

Along with the forward's 6 scores on his first game, Ireland has scored eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while George Boyd scored five on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by position, scored a triple in one game up front.

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

Paul Barrow, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics full-back Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at 2 global tournaments for Honduras, in as well as featuring in over 200 Premier League games.

"It was going round like a rumor they had these former top-flight stars," said Barrow.

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

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

"We held our own for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

"Our group really have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mum and sibling on the way home.

"They were all friendly, shaking our hands after the game - it was like playing a group of regular fellas.

"Now we are eager for the second fixture."
