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 Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha, as well as former Burnley midfielder George Boyd, have been proving just that.
