What do you enhance a stellar veteran team who have won back-to-back titles, featuring a league-cup double boasting thirty wins from 32 matches?

Bring in a raft of ex- professionals who have competed at the highest tier of club football and global soccer as you pursue additional silverware.

One Manchester club boasts an amateur veterans team with nine ex- top-flight footballers in their active lineup.

Two Hundred Twenty-Two Premier League Goals, 325 International Appearances

The team Vets Over-35s are located in south the city and compete in the Cheshire-based Vets Division Top Division.

The squad list this campaign features 9 former Premier League footballers, with a collective over 1,800 Premier League appearances.

The elite team also includes 222 Premier League scores and 325 global appearances.

The squad include one forward, who scored thirty-seven goals in 117 appearances for his former club after moving to them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in 2012.

Cisse made his debut for the team in their most recent home-field game versus reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six goals in a 6-2 win - featuring a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

The roster for this campaign also includes former professionals such as English and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight players have claimed 15 major trophies and moved for total transfer fees of around £123m.

Well-Known Figures and Global Players

Ireland began playing for the side during pre-season this summer through good mate and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Irish player then asked additional ex-pros, who all compete in a weekly nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegalese forward Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 Premier League games for Everton and still attends their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance versus the opposition - who are located in the city and wear an Everton training kit as their strip.

"My mate Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's good fun'," said the striker.

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

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

"Those fans who come and see are happy and to make a moment if they see us playing there and to pose us questions - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

So great is the bench strength at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at defender.

"It's a bit different but then, I enjoy running and just move forward - I'm not staying back that much," he said.

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

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

Unreal Experience

Along with the forward's 6 goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has scored 8 in three appearances for the side, while George Boyd scored five on his first appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by position, notched a triple in one match up front.

The team are leading of the Top Tier with three victories from three and a goal difference of plus nineteen.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the wing for Collegiate OB, came up against former Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

He has appeared at two World Cups for his country, in addition to featuring in more than 200 Premier League games.

"It was going round like wildfire they had all these former top-flight players," said Barrow.

"I felt I was a bit awestruck playing against Figueroa to be honest.

"Also Heskey came on and he's got 60-odd England caps.

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

"We really have not ceased talking about it - I was phoning 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 regular guys.

"Now we are eager for the return match."

We Will Still Win the Title'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate vets team, who secured the Premier Tier title the previous campaign, together with Paul Maguire.

"Our team went 1-0 up and had a
