NATHAN SALT IN WYTHENSHAWE: StephenIreland's phone is ringing off the hook in the wake of Wythenshawe Vets' latest demolition job. With former Chelsea and Leicester City star Danny Drinkwater alongside him in midfield‚ ex-Wigan Athletic ace Maynor Figueroa anchoring the defence‚ and a front two of George Boyd and Papiss Cisse‚ this star-studded group of over-35 ex-pros have just blown South Liverpool away 13-0 to continue their invincible start to the season. Last month‚ Joleon Lescott scored a hat-trick‚ Oumar Niasse played wing-back‚ Nedum Onuoha featured‚ as did former England striker Emile Heskey.
Sunday League matchgoers at Wythenshawe FC Vets have been left stunned as a host of former Premier League stars‚ including Joleon Lescott‚ have been turning out for the ninth-tier side. Lescott‚ the former Manchester City and England defender‚ recently scored a hat-trick for the team competing in the Cheshire Veterans Football League - eight years after hanging up his boots. They say age is just a number‚ and Lescott‚ along with his ex-City teammates StephenIreland and Nedum Onuoha‚ as well as former Burnley midfielder George Boyd‚ have been proving just that.
