The squad include one forward, who netted 37 goals in 117 games for Newcastle United after joining them for nine million pounds from Bundesliga club Freiburg in January 2012.

Cisse made his first appearance for the team in their last home-field game versus defending champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored every one of the six scores in a six-two win - including a 32-minute opening period triple.

The squad for this season also features ex- professionals such as English and Anfield striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley FC midfielder George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan defender Maynor Figueroa, City pair Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and top-flight title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater.

Household Figures and Global Players

Stephen Ireland started playing for the side during preseason this season through good friend and current Wythenshawe player Blake Norton, and the ex- Irish midfielder then asked other former professionals, who all play in a midweek nine-a-side game, to participate.

Ex- Senegalese striker Niasse, who netted 12 scores in sixty-five Premier League games for the Toffees and even now goes to their home games, also made his debut against the opposition - who are based in the city and use an Blue warm-up gear as their strip.

"A mate Stephen Ireland said 'come and play, it's good fun'," said the striker.

"After that he informed me we were facing a team from Liverpool and the surprise I had when I noticed them sporting Blue kits - I say this is wrong for me!

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

"The people who turn up and see are pleased and to make someone's moment if they watch us playing there and to pose us queries - it's really about the joy of us having a place we can enjoy football, with structure of course."

So great is the squad depth at Wythenshawe, Niasse made his debut at defender.

"That's a bit unusual but then, I love running and just go forward - 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 keep running.

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

Unreal Scenario

In addition to Cisse's six goals on debut, Ireland has netted 8 in 3 appearances for the side, while George Boyd hit 5 on his debut appearance and Joleon Lescott, a defender by trade, notched a triple in one match up front.

Paul Barrow, thirty-eight, who plays on the flank for the opposition, came up against ex- Latics defender Maynor Figueroa on the weekend - and had to explain his nine-year-old son who Emile Heskey was.

He has played at two World Cups for Honduras, in as well as featuring in over 200 top-flight games.

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

"I think I was a little awestruck playing against him to be honest.

"Even Heskey got on and he's has over 60 English caps.

"Our side held our own for a good twenty minutes but then we had a player dismissed and it was tough.

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

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

"Now we are eager for the return match."

'We'll Still Win the Title'
