They include Papiss Cisse, who netted 37 goals in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after moving to them for £9m from German league club Freiburg in 2012.

He made his first appearance for the team in their last home-field match against reigning title holders their rivals and scored every one of the six scores in a six-two win - featuring a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.

Collectively, the former top-flight footballers have won fifteen big honors and moved for combined transfer fees of around £123 million.

Household Names and Global Stars

Stephen Ireland began playing for the team in preseason this summer through close mate and present team player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder then asked additional former professionals, who all play in a weekly small-sided match, to join in.

Former Senegalese striker Oumar Niasse, who netted twelve goals in 65 Premier League matches for the Toffees and even now goes to their matches at Goodison Park, also made his first appearance against Collegiate OB - who are based in Liverpool and use an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"My friend Stephen Ireland told me 'join and have a game, it's a laugh'," said the striker.

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from Liverpool and the shock I had when I noticed them sporting Everton kits - I say this is strange for me!

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

"The fans who come and see are pleased and to make a moment if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can play, with organisation of course."

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

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

"I tell my centre-back 'I'm not staying' and that I'm just going to continue attacking.

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

Unreal Experience

In addition to Cisse's 6 scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in three games for the side, while George Boyd hit 5 on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, notched a hat-trick in one game as a striker.

Wythenshawe are top of the Top Tier with three victories from 3 and a goal difference of +19.

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

He has appeared at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over two hundred Premier League games.

"It was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League stars," remarked Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has over 60 England caps.

"Our side competed well for a solid 20 minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was hard.

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

"The opponents 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 Will Still Win the League'
