Papiss Cissé Hits Second-Half Double Hat-Trick for Wythenshawe Vets

The display highlights how a veterans side stacked with ex-Premier League talent is skewing a local competition.

Overview

  • Cissé, 40, rebounded from a nightmare sequence of a saved penalty, a blocked follow-up off the post and a corner kicked straight out by scoring six after the interval.
  • Wythenshawe routed South Liverpool at Hollyhedge Park in the Cheshire over-35s league, with reports putting the final score at either 11-0 or 13-0.
  • Journalists at the ground documented the misses and the goals, with clips and posts circulating widely on social media.
  • The veterans team features nine former Premier League players, including George Boyd, Emile Heskey, Stephen Ireland, Nedum Onuoha, Danny Drinkwater, Maynor Figueroa, Joleon Lescott and Oumar Niasse.
  • This is not Cissé’s first six-goal outing for Wythenshawe, as he also hit a double hat-trick on his debut during a season of frequent lopsided victories.
