CITY OVER-35S TOOK ON HESKEY AND LESCOTT

How a 'little team' found themselves playing Premier League legends...

A TEAM of ordinary Scousers ended up taking on a squad of famous footballers last weekend.

Collegiate Old Boys Over-35s, from West Derby, are the current champions of the Cheshire Vets League Premier Division.

However, they face incredibly strong competition this season from Wythenshawe AFC Vets Over-35s.

Unlike Collegiate, their team isn’t made up of ordinary middle-aged men from the area - the south Manchester team has a squad list that boasts nine former Premier League players, with a combined 1,801 topflight appearances between them.

Players include former Liverpool forward Emile Heskey and ex-Everton players Oumar Niasse and Joleon Lescott. Collectively, the former topflight players have won 15 major trophies and moved for combined transfer fees of about £123m.
