Papiss Cissé Scores Six for Wythenshawe Vets After Penalty Blunder

A roster stacked with ex‑Premier League names has tilted the local over‑35s league toward routine blowouts.

Overview

  • The 40-year-old striker netted a second-half double hat-trick for Wythenshawe Vets against South Liverpool in the Cheshire Veterans Football League.
  • Before scoring, Cissé had a chaotic spell with a saved penalty, a blocked rebound that hit the post, and a corner kicked straight out, as witnessed by reporters at Hollyhedge Park.
  • Outlets differed on the final score, with ESPN reporting 11-0 and the Mirror and Daily Star reporting 13-0.
  • Wythenshawe Vets feature multiple former Premier League players, including Joleon Lescott, Emile Heskey, Stephen Ireland, George Boyd, Nedum Onuoha, Danny Drinkwater, Maynor Figueroa and Oumar Niasse.
  • Cissé previously scored six on his debut for the side, and the veterans team has posted several lopsided wins this season against local opposition.
