It wasn't too long ago when scoring goals was the last thing on Charlie Wyke's mind – the Wigan striker was left fighting for his life after suffering a heart attack.<\/p>\n

In November 2021, Wyke turned up for a normal training session, but it ended with him being rushed to hospital. Latics boss Leam Richardson's quick-thinking helped save his life – and Richardson performed CPR on the striker.<\/p>\n

After multiple heart surgeries, Wyke returned to training, only to suffer another heart attack in April 2022. However, Wyke, with the help of Richardson, never game up on his return.<\/p>\n

But when Richardson was sacked in November 2022, and Wyke injured his knee, the striker began to question his future in football. Speaking to The Sun, Wyke said: "Losing Leam and then doing my knee – it felt like it just wasn\u2019t meant to be. <\/p>\n

"My body couldn\u2019t handle it any more. I was overweight – up to 90 kilos – my knee wasn\u2019t right, my head wasn\u2019t right and I was thinking, \u2018I don\u2019t want to do this any more\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, on the opening day of the season, Wigan beat Derby 2-1 – with two both goals from Wyke. That game changed everything, and Wyke added: \u201cI can\u2019t explain the relief I felt when we kicked off with a 2-1 win at Derby and I scored both goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcept to say that, for what felt like the first time in forever, I finally felt normal again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wyke's performances continued to sky rocket, and at the end of August, he was presented with the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month award. He said: "I\u2019m delighted to win the award and personal accolades are always nice but I can\u2019t win this without the help of my teammates and the Gaffer!"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It's been a long road to recovery for Wyke, but football is back on his mind again.<\/p>\n

Wyke is currently second in the League One goalscorer charts, with six goals in eight games, and he's only trailing Barnsley's Devante Cole – who was nine.<\/p>\n
