How do you boost a outstanding experienced side who have secured back-to-back titles, featuring a league-cup double boasting thirty victories from 32 matches?

Sign a raft of ex- professionals that have performed at the highest tier of club football and global football as you pursue further trophies.

One Manchester team boasts an non-professional veterans squad with nine ex- top-flight footballers in their present lineup.

222 Top Division Scores, Three Hundred Twenty-Five International Caps

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

The roster this campaign includes 9 former Premier League footballers, with a collective nearly 1,800 Premier League appearances.

The star-studded roster also contains over 220 top division goals and over 320 global caps.

They feature one forward, who notched 37 goals in over 100 games for his former club after signing for them for £9m from German league side Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse had his first appearance for Wythenshawe in their last home match against reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted all six scores in a 6-2 victory - including a 32-minute opening period hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's squad for this campaign also includes ex- pros such as England and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley winger George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa, City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the former top-flight footballers have secured fifteen major honors and transferred for combined transfer sums of approximately £123m.

Household Figures and Global Players

Ireland started turning out for the side in pre-season this summer through close friend and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Irish midfielder then invited other former professionals, who all play in a weekly small-sided match, to participate.

Ex- Senegal striker Niasse, who netted twelve scores in 65 top-flight games for the Toffees and even now attends their home games, also had his debut against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and use an Everton training kit as their uniform.

"My friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and play, it's good fun'," commented the striker.

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

"When you still love football and you know you can still play, anywhere you can kick a ball, what are you going to choose?

"The people who turn up and watch are happy and to give a day if they see us competing there and to ask us questions - it's more like the joy of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

So great is the strength in depth at the club, Niasse had his debut at defender.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I enjoy running 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.

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

'Surreal Scenario

Along with the forward's six goals on his first game, Ireland has netted eight in three games for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit 5 on his debut match and Lescott, a defender by trade, scored a triple in one match up front.

The team are leading of the Top Division with 3 victories from 3 and a goal difference of +19.

One opponent, 38, who features on the wing for the opposition, came up against former Latics full-back Maynor Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young son who Emile Heskey was.

Figueroa has played at two global tournaments for his country, in as well as featuring in over 200 top-flight matches.

"The news was spreading like wildfire they had these ex-Premier League players," said the player.

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

"Also Heskey got on and he's got 60-odd English appearances.

"We competed well for a good twenty minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.

"We really haven't ceased talking about it - I was phoning my mother and sibling on the journey home.

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

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

'We'll Still Win the Title'

Andy Kirby coaches the Collegiate veterans team, who won the Premier Tier championship last season, along with his co-manager.

"Our team scored 1-0 up and had a
