They feature one forward, who notched thirty-seven scores in 117 games for his former club after joining them for nine million pounds from German league side Freiburg in January 2012.

He had his first appearance for the team in their most recent home game against reigning title holders their rivals and netted every one of the six scores in a six-two victory - including a 32-minute opening period hat-trick.

The squad for this season also includes ex- pros such as England and Anfield forward Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC winger George Boyd, Toffees striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight championship victors Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Household Figures and Global Stars

Ireland began playing for the side during pre-season this season through close friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the former Republic of Ireland player then invited other former professionals, who all play in a midweek small-sided game, to participate.

Ex- Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 goals in 65 top-flight matches for Everton and even now attends their matches at Goodison Park, also had his debut against the opposition - who are located in Liverpool and wear an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen told me 'come and have a game, it's good fun'," said Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were facing a side from the city and the shock I had when I saw them wearing Blue kits - I thought this is strange for me!

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

"Those fans who come and watch are pleased and to make a moment if they see us competing there and to pose us queries - it's more like the joy of us getting somewhere we can enjoy football, with organisation of course."

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

"That's a little unusual but then, I love running and just go inside - I'm not staying back that much," he added.

"I tell my centre-back 'I'm not hanging back' and that I'm just going to keep running.

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

'Surreal Feeling

In addition to Cisse's six scores on his first game, Stephen Ireland has netted 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while George Boyd scored five on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a triple in one game up front.

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

Figueroa has appeared at two global tournaments for Honduras, in addition to featuring in over 200 top-flight games.

"The news was going round like a rumor they had these former top-flight stars," said Barrow.

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

"Also Emile [Heskey] got on and he's has 60-odd England appearances.

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

"We literally have not ceased chatting 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 group of normal fellas.

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

'We'll Still Take the Title'
