Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their last home game against reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six goals in a 6-2 win - featuring a 32-minute first-half triple.

Wythenshawe's team for this season also features former pros such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull City and Burnley winger George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Together, the former Premier League footballers have claimed 15 big trophies and transferred for total transfer fees of around £123 million.

Well-Known Figures and International Players

Ireland started playing for the team in preseason this summer through good mate and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish player then asked other former professionals, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side match, to join in.

Former Senegalese forward Niasse, who scored twelve scores in sixty-five Premier League matches for Everton and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue training kit as their strip.

"My friend Stephen said 'come and have a game, it's a laugh'," said Niasse.

"After that he told me we were facing a side from the city and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"Those spectators who come and watch are happy and to make a day if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the pleasure of us having somewhere we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

Such is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse had his first game at defender.

"It's a little unusual but then, I enjoy sprinting and just go inside - I'm not defending that much," he said.

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

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

'Surreal Scenario

In addition to the forward's six goals on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in three games for the side, while Boyd scored five on his first match and Lescott, a centre-half by position, scored a triple in one match up front.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to tell his young son who Heskey was.

He has appeared at 2 global tournaments for his country, in addition to playing in over 200 top-flight games.

"It was spreading like a rumor they had these ex-Premier League stars," said Barrow.

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

"Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he's got over 60 English caps.

"We held our own for a good 20 mins but then we had a player sent off and it was hard.

"Our group literally have not ceased chatting about it - I was phoning my mum and sibling on the journey home.

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

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

'We'll Still Win the League'
