Cisse had his debut for the team in their last home-field game against reigning title holders Collegiate Old Boys and netted every one of the six goals in a 6-2 victory - featuring a half-hour opening period hat-trick.

Wythenshawe's roster for this campaign also features ex- professionals such as England and Liverpool forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley midfielder George Boyd, Toffees forward Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Collectively, the ex- Premier League players have won 15 major honors and moved for total transfer fees of about £123m.

Household Figures and International Stars

Ireland began turning out for the team during preseason this season through close mate and present team teammate Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then asked additional former professionals, who all play in a midweek small-sided match, to participate.

Former Senegal forward Oumar Niasse, who scored twelve scores in 65 Premier League matches for Everton and even now attends their home games, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are located in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"My friend Stephen Ireland said 'join and have a game, it's enjoyable'," commented Niasse.

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

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

"The spectators who turn up and see are happy and to make a moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the pleasure of us having somewhere we can play, with organisation of course."

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

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

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

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

'Surreal Feeling

Along with Cisse's 6 scores on debut, Stephen Ireland has netted eight in three games for the side, while Boyd scored five on his debut match and Joleon Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a triple in one match up front.

Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Division with 3 wins from 3 and a GD of +19.

One opponent, thirty-eight, who features on the flank for Collegiate OB, came up against former Latics defender Figueroa on Sunday - and had to explain his young boy who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at 2 World Cups for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over 200 top-flight games.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had all these ex-Premier League players," said the player.

"I think I was a little starstruck facing Figueroa to be honest.

"Even Heskey got on and he's has over 60 England appearances.

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

"We really haven't ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mum and brother on the journey home.

"The opponents were all friendly, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a bunch of regular guys.

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

'We'll Still Take the Title'
