The viral Wythenshawe Vets team have gathered some serious Premier League legends to build a super team to tear up their weekly Sunday League.
Over the past year, the Wythenshawe FC vets team have gone viral for their impressive squads of over 35's, with some big former Premier League names representing the club.
Recently, the team made headlines after eight-time Olympic champion sprinter Usain Bolt registered to play for the team in the Premier Division of the Cheshire Veterans Football League.

But it appears Bolt won't be the only big name joining the veteran squad for this season, as a surprise player has appeared on the official squad list.
Wythenshawe Vets 'confirm' Joe Cole as blockbuster new signing
With former Manchester City trio Stephen Ireland, Joleon Lescott and Nedum Onuoha and household names like Emile Heskey, Marc Albrighton and Danny Drinkwater already in the squad, the Vets hardly need to make many signings to be the best squad in Sunday League history.
But they're not preapred to slow down their recruitment of some of the Premier League's biggest and best former players, as their most recent squad list appears to suggest that three-time Premier League winner Joe Cole has signed up.
On the official FA website, Cole is listed alongside the other former players in the Wythenshawe squad, and although an official confirmation is yet to come, the social media account's recent action shows that it's only a matter of time before we see Cole lacing up the boots for some Sunday league action.
Replying to a fan sharing a photo of the squad including Cole's name, the official Wythenshawe Vets X account replied: "So much more to come! Thank you Cam."
Should Cole play for Wythenshawe, he'd be able to add the club to his illustrious career history made up of clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Lille and Aston Villa.
Of course, of those clubs Cole had the most success with Chelsea, winning three Premier League titles, two FA Cups and a League Cup.
Cole also earned 56 England caps during his career, scoring 10 goals and appearing at three World Cups.
Although his signing isn't yet officially confirmed, his inclusion in the official squad means we can expect to see him representing the Wythenshawe Vets at some point this season.
As for Bolt, he's yet to make an appearance for the viral Sunday League team and although he's not included in the official squad, it is still believed we could see the Olympic legend play for the team at some point in the future.
