"Wythenshawe Vets Over-35s are based in south Manchester and play in the Cheshire Vets League Premier Division.
Their squad list this season boasts nine former Premier League players, with a combined 1,801 top-flight appearances.
The elite roster also contains 222 Premier League goals and 325 international caps.
They include Papiss Cisse, who scored 37 goals in 117 appearances for Newcastle United after joining for £9m from Bundesliga side Freiburg in January 2012.
Cisse made his debut for Wythenshawe in their last home game against reigning champions Collegiate Old Boys and scored all six goals in a 6-2 win - including a 32-minute first-half hat-trick.
Wythenshawe's squad for this season also includes former pros such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Hull and Burnley winger George Boyd, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Wigan full-back Maynor Figueroa, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater."
Weren’t we linked with George Boyd once or twice some years ago or is my memory just playing tricks?
Boyd Now Unlikely to Join Town30th Aug 2012 22:29 Town’s move for Peterborough midfielder George Boyd appears less and less likely to be successful despite his Posh team-mate Paul Taylor agreeing terms with the Blues earlier this evening.25
We got Paul Taylor at the same time.
I'm quite surprised Boyd played over 100 Premier League games though.

Thanks 😁👍
We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub.

And notice where Ipswich appears in the table (hint), you’ll need to wait for the shaky camera to pan down far enough to see it!
Apparently, when he was at Burnley in the Premier League, he earned a reputation for covering the most distance on average each game, the kind of trait that would get you into the good books of a certain Sean Dyche.
Another video from the archive of Boyd (prior to us being linked with him):
In Sheffield while at Uni I played in a 5 a side league and one week the oppo had David Hirst up front and Kevin Pressman in goal.
Hardly seemed in the spirit of "Friday 5s" league but needless to say, an overweight Hirst scored 6 in a 9-2 defeat. Sadly I didn't get either of the 2 and so wasn't able to claim I scored passed Kevin Pressman.
Apparently Chris Waddle had turned out for them that season too.
TWTD.
