Along with Cisse’s six goals on debut, Ireland has scored eight in three appearances for Wythenshawe, while Boyd hit five on his first appearance and Lescott, a centre-half by trade, scored a hat-trick in one game up front.
Wythenshawe are top of the Premier Division with three wins from three and a goal difference of +19.
Paul Barrow, 38, who plays on the wing for Collegiate OB, faced former Wigan full-back Figueroa on Sunday – and had to explain to his nine-year-old son who Heskey was.
Figueroa has played at two World Cups for Honduras, in addition to playing in more than 200 Premier League games.
“It was going round like wildfire they had all these ex-Premier League players,” said Barrow.
“I think I was a bit starstruck facing Figueroa to be honest.
“Even Emile [Heskey] got on and he’s got 60-odd England caps.
“We held our own for a good 20 minutes but then we had a man sent off and it was hard.
“We literally haven’t stopped talking about it – I was phoning my mum and brother on the way home.
“They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the game – it was like playing a bunch of normal fellas.
“Now we can’t wait for the return fixture.”
